Plain Rice Porridge
Author: Mum2Matty
Time:
N/A

N/A
Serving Size:
One portion
Description:
The Chinese call this "Tenfold Porridge" because the ratio of rice and water is one to ten. This rule of thumb is also used for cooking other types of porridge.

Hokkiens and Teochews prefer porridge with the rice grains just broken up. The Cantonese, however, cook their porridge for a longer period until the rice grains are completely broken up and the porridge has a smooth consistency.

Porridge cooked for a longer period is less cooling than that cooked for a shorter time.
Ingredients:
  1. 1 tablespoon raw rice (approx. 20g or 0.7oz)
  2. 10 tablespoons water (approx 150ml or 3/4 cup)
Instructions:
  1. Rinse the rice briefly. When the rice is clean, soak it in 150ml clean water for 2 hours.
  2. Pour the soaked rice, the water in which it has been soaking, into a small pot and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat and leave to simmer with the pot covered for 45 mins or until the rice grains have broken up completely.
  3. Turn off the heat and leave the pot covered for 5 mins.
  4. At this stage, finely-minced meat and vegetables may be added to the cooked porridge which should then be allowed to cook for another 5 to 10 mins or till the additional ingredients are done.

if we just add minced chicken or pork, is it too tasteless? If so, what can we add to put some taste in it?

I used to cook brown rice porridge by adding in 2T (level) of rice grains and 150ml of stock. Put these into the slow cooker and cook for about 2-3hrs. Put in other ingredients like fish and veg only later when about to serve (give about 10-15min to cook). Coz your baby is only 7 months old, you should push the mixture through a sieve to get the hard husks of brown rice grains out, leaving behind a smooth gruel.
