RICE PORRIDGE (CONGEE/JOOK/OKAYU) RICE COOKER W/PORK & CORN



Rice Porridge (Congee/Jook/Okayu) Rice Cooker W/Pork & Corn image

I combined a few different recipes into this one, and it turned out delicious. Of course, adjust the water and rice to whatever ration you'd like. 1:10 (rice:water) is a good place to start for medium consistency, but less water will make it thicker and more water will make it thinner. Feel free to add whatever other ingredients sound good or just have it without meat or veggies. You can use chicken/beef/vegetable broth instead of water for a stronger flavor. A search on the internet will help with some other ideas about what to put in it or how to cook it over the stove. I used a 3.5 cup (small) rice cooker, and it was a tight squeeze, but it worked. I found some great information about the ratio and other cooking methods at http://www.homemade-chinese-soups.com/cooking-porridge.html.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 large bowl, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups water (or chicken, beef, vegetable broth)
1/2 cup short-grain rice, uncooked
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced gingerroot
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 dash black pepper
100 g ground pork
100 g sweet corn
2 tablespoons scallions

Steps:

  • Measurements are approximate, adjust as needed. 100 g ground pork is about 1/4 lb. 100 g sweet corn is about 3.5 oz.
  • If rice cooker has a porridge/congee/jook/okayu function, you can use that (though you may want to adjust the water for your desired consistency). You can also use a slow cooker/crock pot, but it will take more like 4-5 hours.
  • Add water, rice, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce and black pepper to the rice cooker and turn it on (choosing the porridge/congee/jook/okayu function if it has one or just "cook" if not) and stir occasionally to break up the rice. It should take about 45-60 minutes.
  • (optional) Brown and crumble the ground pork in a frying pan until done and add the corn, cooking until warm.
  • When the rice is ready, mix in the pork and corn (or other ingredients, if any).
  • Serve in bowls and top with scallions.

SLOW-COOKED PORRIDGE



Slow-cooked porridge image

Put this oaty breakfast into your slow cooker before bed and wake up to a bowl of creamy comfort in the morning. Add your favourite toppings

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Breakfast

Time 12h5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup jumbo oats
4 cups milk (or half milk, half water for a less creamy version), plus a dribble more milk to serve
¼ cup dried fruits (optional)
your favourite toppings - brown sugar or honey, sliced bananas, grated apple, blueberries, pinch of cinnamon, natural yogurt, etc

Steps:

  • Heat the slow cooker if necessary. Find a sturdy ceramic bowl that will fit in the cooker. Put the oats in the bowl along with a pinch of salt, then pour over the milk, or a mixture of milk and water. Add the dried fruit, if using. Place the bowl in the slow cooker and put on its lowest setting and cook overnight for 7-8 hours. If anyone's up in the night, give the porridge a quick stir to scrape up the crustier bits from around the edges and bottom, but don't worry if not.
  • In the morning, give the porridge a really good stir - it may have developed a crust on top, but just stir this in to break it up. Add a drop more milk to loosen if necessary, then ladle into bowls and add your favourite toppings.

Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 whole green cardamom pods, lightly crushed to remove seeds, discarding pods
½ gallon whole milk
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, or amount desired
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Using a rolling pin, crush the cardamom seeds until very fine. Place the cardamom, milk, rice, and butter into a deep, heavy pan. While slowly stirring the milk mixture, cook over medium heat for 90 minutes. Lower the heat if necessary to prevent the milk from boiling or overheating. Stir in the sugar, and continue cooking until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes more.
  • Pour the rice mixture into a serving bowl. Place 3 tablespoons butter on top, and allow to melt. Dust with cinnamon. Serve warm or cold.

Tips:

  • Rinse the rice well before cooking: This will remove any starch and help the rice cook evenly.
  • Use a slow cooker with a removable crock: This will make it easy to clean up after cooking.
  • Add enough liquid: The ratio of rice to liquid will vary depending on the type of rice you are using. Check the package directions for specific instructions.
  • Cook on low heat: This will help the porridge cook slowly and evenly.
  • Stir the porridge occasionally: This will help prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Season the porridge to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the porridge hot: Porridge is best served hot with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker rice porridge is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. It is a great way to use up leftover rice and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can have a warm and satisfying bowl of porridge in no time.
