This is real comfort food. With the rain showing no signs of stopping, what more can i do except to stay home and cook a huge pot of hot pork ribs porridge? My kids no longer like porridge, not even fish porridge. No idea why. Only hubby and i eat porridge these days. You really dont need much to cook porridge, you know.
I took out a packet of pork ribs (about 600gm) from the freezer and left it to defrost in a pot of warm water (still in its plastic bag, of course). Shredded some ginger, and washed a cup of rice into the claypot. Added some water to it and let it boil on the stove. Add some salt to it, k.
By then, the pork ribs were ready and i rubbed some salt all over them. Rinsed off the salt and par-boiled it to get rid of the porky smell and taste. Dumped them all into the claypot and turned down the heat. In an hour or so, it’ll be ready. I sometimes add dried oysters or dried scallops to my porridge.
Porridge is best eaten with a dash of soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper and lots of spring onions. I didnt prepare any spring onions to go with my porridge today. If you have fermented beancurd or fu-yuih, add a piece to it. Phwooooah…. SYIOK!!!
