This kind of porridge is one of the easiest One Dish Meal which I prepare during busy days. Having this porridge with a simple stir fry leafy green makes a complete meal for the family.
My hubby says this is good porridge especially when the salted eggs are not too salty. Fully agreed with him that this porridge [chok] is nice with crispy cruellers and the garnishing. Hassle free cooking for me yet a satisfying meal for the family.
Recipe adapted from Home Cooking Magazine [February 2001]

My family don't like porridge,they said too geli to swallow...
So,can I have a bowl from u?
Hi May, porridge like this is a good choice for One Dish Meal. You can add some salad leaves if you like to have some vegetable in the meal. All the ingredients blend well and makes it so appetising.
Hi Fion, this porridge isn't too starchy. You can still see the rice grains and not too thick. Porridge is best eaten while still hot. No problem at all to reserve a bowl for you.
Hi Kimmy,
Porridge is a favourite in my house. This looks delicious and so flavourful! Thanks for linking with CYB!
Hi Joyce, this is one of the best porridge. I always thought there is too much eggs in this porridge but it's acceptable after all it is not in one serving.
