It’s been a while since I’ve cooked. But being a sick person and since mom has already prepared the dishes for the rest of the family, I decided that porridge would be my selection for the night and thus, that’s what I’ve cooked!
Well, limited in ingredients, I just grab whatever that is available for me to cook. So my porridge consists of:
1. One potato, cut into cubes
2. Pork meat (well marinated, but I added honey to give it a sweet tinge)
3. An egg
4. Rice (half a cup)
5. Salt
All I did was just to wash the rice, dump it into a pot, fill it with water and cook it. As potato takes a long time to cook, I threw it in along with the rice in order to make sure it’s soft enough. Lots of stirring is needed as the rice tends to stick to the bottom of the pot if you don’t stir it.
I like my rice to be very very meshed up, if you know what I mean, so I had to add water into the pot to ensure that the rice absorb enough water to soften. A tinge of salt is put into the pot to ensure that there’s some taste to my porridge. Not too much though, or the porridge will turn out to be salty.
As for the pork, although it’s well marinated, I put some honey onto it to ensure that it’s not too salty. I also put a bit of honey into the porridge coz it will sweeten the porridge too! Hehe… Once I see the porridge is cooked enough, I put the meat into the porridge. It doesn’t take long to cook.
Once it’s cooked, I cracked the egg into an empty bowl and pour the hot, hot porridge into the bowl, ensuring that the porridge covers the whole egg. Leave it for a few seconds, well, take the time to set your table or prepare the utensils for this meal, and then… stir it! You will see the egg well cooked =)
All in all, the meal was sweet and just nice! Lovely dinner it was… I had fun cooking ….
