Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 3 oz. protein, chicken, fish, pork, or beef
  • 1 oz. sweet potato, orange-color, cut into small pieces
  • 1 oz. pumpkin or kabocha, cut into small pieces
  • 1-2 dried scallops removed after cooked
  • 1 tablespoon dried silver fish rinsed
  • 1 spring onion cut into small pieces
  • 3-4 broccoli florets or 3 wedges tomato
  • 1 egg yolk

Instructions

  1. Put the rice into a small pot and rinse with cold water a few times. Discard the cloudy water and add 3 cups of filtered water into the rice. Add all the ingredients into the pot and bring it to bowl on medium heat. Lower the heat to simmer, cover the pot, and let cook for 45 minutes or until the rice breaks down completely.

  2. If using egg yolk, lightly beat the egg yolk and add to the porridge. Stir a few times, and let cook for about 1-2 minutes. Before serving, remove the dried scallops (you can eat them) before using a blender to puree the porridge. Serve it cool to avoid burning your baby.
