Thank you for the attention and news feature! This is a simple, gentle rice porridge that's easy on the stomach when you're feeling tired. The unique texture of uncooked rice and the flavor of sesame oil make it delicious.

How this recipe came about:
I wanted something easy to make and that I could leave alone while not feeling well. It turned out so tasty that I keep making it with different toppings even after I recovered!

Steps

1

Rinse the rice. Add water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer.
2

If the water reduces too much while cooking, add enough to just cover the rice. After about 25 minutes, check the texture of the rice.
3

Mix in the ginger, chicken bouillon, and salt and pepper. Simmer briefly. Drizzle with sesame oil to finish.
