THERMAL COOKER - OYSTER PORK AND CENTURY EGG PORRIDGE

There are numerous versions of oyster porridge with a combination of various ingredients.  This is another version which differs from my earlier posting on oyster porridge.  Here all ingredients are boiled together without any frying.
It is a comfort food for busy days, make much easier with the use of thermal cooker [cooking by heat retention system].
This porridge is as tasty and a healthier version too.  Served with crispy yau char kwai [Chinese crullers], shredded ginger and spring onions make it an appetising porridge suitable for the old and young.

150 gm rice - washed and soaked for 30 minutes
1 tbsp glutinous rice- washed and soaked for 30 minutes
100 gm minced pork

1.2 litres water
Seasoning
1 tsp salt
dash of msg and pepper
1/2 tsp sesame oil
Garnishing

  5. Hi Jasline, since getting to know how to make the Chinese cruellers crispy again, I can cook this kind of porridge any time so long as I have some cruellers in the freezer. Makes the porridge taste better. Kids enjoyed it.
