MY HEALTHY VEGAN VERSIONSIMPLE AND QUICKORIENTAL STYLELOVING IT

In China, porridge is super popular as a breakfast item, especially at local breakfast shops. People usually pair it with baozi or steamed buns. Now, making porridge in a slow cooker isn’t the traditional way, but it makes things way easier, and it still tastes great! The light and comforting nature of porridge makes it a go-to for so many. Enjoy!

Delicious eaten for breakfast as it is light and comforting. The minced pork adds a mild sweetness to the dish but may be omitted for a plain porridge.

This is what I call grits sometimes to make eating more fun with my granddaughters. Porridge like the three little bears and so on. The pot was emptied, so I can truthfully say kid approved!!!

LIGHT DIET AND VEGAN

Sweet potato porridge

This is the Korean dish called Soegogi-yachaejuk. It is mild in taste, not spicy. It is a hearty, filling main dish. You need to use a starchy, short grained rice for it to reach the proper thickness. They use what is called sweet rice typically, but arborio is easier to find, so I use that. Give it a try, you will like it.

At times when we feel sick or uninterested to have food; we tend to turn towards medicine, whereas a few home remedies might do the trick for a first line defense.

I use short grain type. There is also a certain depth of flavor infused in the ingredients and rice porridge. I’m guessing the porridge is cooked in a stock instead of water and the ingredients are cooked separately before adding into the porridge. Not forgetting the generous usage of my favorite aromatic toasted sesame oil.
