Oatmeal Porridge - Instant Energy, Instant Happiness

Ok, this post is going to be very "mushy"...

As mushy as this oatmeal porridge... 

This bowl of goodness contains mixture of Oatmeal, Mashed Banana & Mixed Berries, Flaxseed, Natural Yoghurt, Protein Powder, Soy Milk and drizzle with a little bit of Maple Syrup... Finished with Desiccated Coconut and Peanut Butter....Chilled overnight in the fridge...

The next morning, I wake up to welcome this delicious, nutritious and filling breakfast that packed with lots of protein, vitamin, fibre and other goodness... i scooped this thick and doughy porridge, and someone was calling me in the dark... 

Mr.S : Honey, don't forget to give me a goodbye kiss while you leave to work later... (sleepy voice)

Me   : ....................................... (smiled and feel contented)

This bowl of goodies didn't just give me an instant energy but it also gave me an instant happiness for this whole day...

Thank you!

P.S: the photo at the background was taken in Ngong Ping Cable Car while travelling to Hongkong in this early January.. Costs me 300 HK dollar (with other accessories), just because the sales girl said i look very pretty in this photo, lol!! *you can puke now* 

Century Egg and Pork Porridge

I grow up eating porridge, until someday Porridge has become a big No-No for me... As a Teochew, my family loves cooking Plain Porridge to eat with lots of side dishes such as Pickled Vegetables; Salted Duck Egg; Braised Peanut; Fermented Tofu; Preserved Olive Leaves; and etc...

Some time my grandma even only mix the porridge with dark soya sauce...Hmmm, No-No-No-Noooooo...

She's bravo!

But when it comes to a flavoured Hongkong-style Porridge, i would say Yes-Yes!! and my favourite is which most of people will adore as well...  You agree? 

Century Egg and Pork Porridge

Serve 1

Ingredients

1 small bowl of cooked white rice*

1 small bowl of water* (or more, depends on personal preference)

1 Century Egg, boiled

Lean Pork slices ( i use 5 slices per serving, as i do not eat meat very much)

1/2 tsp Chicken Powder

Sesame Oil and Pepper to serve (optional)

N.B: I use the ratio 1:1 for rice and water

Method

• Boil Century Egg for 5 minutes, or until it cooks, chill in a bowl of cold water
• Meanwhile, add a bowl of rice together with water into a blender, blend to a finer porridge texture*
• Transfer blended porridge to a pot, add in lean pork slices, simmer in low heat until it cooks
• Add in seasoning (chicken powder; sesame oil and pepper), mix well
• Peel century egg, quartered, or thinly sliced
• Arrange on the top of the porridge
• Serve warm

N.B: I use a short-cut to serve porridge, as the original way to cook porridge is using a slower-cooking method, which requires lots of hours :p

Happy Cooking!!
