Porridge is enjoyed by a lot of Chinese people. Traditionally in history, porridge, potatoes and rice were the main staple in Chinese meals as they were easy to prepare and not extravagant.
Over the generations, porridge has continued to remain a favorite but these days, people are more creative in the way they cook porridge. Basically, you can add any type of meat and vegetable to cook in your porridge.
I love to eat my porridge with salted duck eggs and shallots. I grew up eating porridge this way and it has stayed with me ever since. To add to the nutritional value, I put in carrots and chicken.
Let me know if you enjoyed this porridge after trying my recipe.
