After 9 days of vegetarian diet and having rice for most meals, I suddenly miss porridge. Since I have some leftover pumpkin after cooking Stir Fry Pumpkin with Miso, I cooked this porridge for weekend meal. I added some broccoli for fiber and colour.
I cooked half this recipe enough for 3 and each has more than a bowl.
Recipe Source - Yum Yum Magazine No. 89
Ingredients

500 gm minced meat
- marinate with 1/2 tsp each of salt and sesame oil, 1/4 tsp each of pepper and sugar, 1 egg white and 1 tbsp cornstarch

300 gm pumpkin - peeled and cut wedges
50 gm dried scallop - rinsed
salt and pepper to taste
- Wash and soak rice in water for 1 hour. Bring to boil, then add in scallops.
- Lower heat to simmer until rice is soft. Add in pumpkin to cool until both rice and pumpkin are very soft.
- Add in meatballs and cook for a further 10 minutes.
- Add in salt to taste. Add in broccoli to cook [if using] until it turns bright green and cooked.
- Off heat, dish up to serve.

This looks so good! My toddler will love this.
Kimmy, this porridge is simple but good. Everything all in one and I like the addition of pumpkin!
Hi Joyce, I think this porridge is suitable for the young and old. The broccoli can be cut into smaller pieces and cooked until soft.
Hi Phong Hong, surprisingly tasty and nutritious. So easy to cook and suitable for all in the family.
Oh yes I too make pumpkin porridge occasionally ... mine not so much 'liao' ... just pumpkin + rice and I will open a can of braised peanut ^-^
Hi Kimmy, this porridge sounds simple and easy to prepare, thanks for sharing again to LTU.
This is really good for the young and the old. I dun have to waste time cooking separately for my teething baby and I can enjoy piping hot porridge during autumn. Love this porridge :)
Kimmy I used to cook porridge with pumpkin for my son but never try it myself, hmmm looks like must cook it someday.
Such a simple yet so delicious satisfying meal! Thanks for linking with CYB!
Hi Karen, sometimes I love to cook something simple but I have to consider my hubby's liking too. Adding more 'liao' to prevent complaints, hehehe!. Enjoying food.
Hi Eileen, it is simpl, easy and quick. Yet appetising for a one dish meal.
Hi Miss B, you are correct. This is a good dish to cook when it's cold, when the cook is lazy and when we wanted some good food quickly, hehehe!.
Hi Jess, do try it when you are cooking for your son. I think you will like it. It's very tasty.
Hi Joyce, this recipe published in the food magazine is reliable. Good porridge for all.
