age: above 8 months



Ingredients:

- 1.7 ounces / 50g of Rice. My usual choice is  Jasmati Rice. Check out the Amazon link to see what others think about this wonderful and tasty rice.

Ginger Juice

- water about 1.7 cups / 400 ml

- minced pork 0.3-0.4 ounces / 10g

- vegetable 0.5 ounces / 15g cut into small pieces: can be chosen from a wide range of leaf vegetables, e.g. Pak Choi, Chinese cabbage, spinach, etc.


- one raw egg yolk, beaten to the consistency similar to make scrambled egg

- 1 teaspoon ginger juice (can also be produced by pressing ginger in garlic press)

- Corn Starch

- Some drops of La Tourangelle Toasted Sesame Oil. Of course you can use other brands as well but I really like the one from La Tourangelle because of its great flavor. 

How to cook:

1. Marinate the minced pork with ginger juice, a small teaspoon of corn starch, 1-2 teaspoons of water

2. Add rice and water into rice cooker, and use slow cooking option to cook until you cannot see the shape of the rice (some rice cookers have a “porridge” option). If you do not own a rice cooker, just use a pot to cook, cover the pot and use low heat, it will take around 1-2 hours until it is ready.

Rice Cooker

3. The time to add minced pork into your rice cooker is when the rice and water mixture inside starts to boil, then stir so that the meat mixes well with the rice

4. When the porridge is about to be cooked, add vegetable pieces, continue to cook until the vegetable pieces are soft

5. Add egg yolk, stir until the porridge is boiling again

6. Add a few drops of sesame oil
