Ingredients
 

  • 20 g dried prawns, rinse and soak in just enough water for at least 10 minutes
  • 10 g dried squid, (quill discarded using scissors cut crosswise 3 cm long, then lengthwise into thin strips; rinse and soak in just enough water to cover till soft, 30 mins)
  • 200 g fish fillet, rinse and slice bite size; mix evenly with 1 teaspoon light soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon cornflour
  • 1 litre boiling water

Seasonings for porridge:

  • 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Tientsin pickled cabbage, or tong choy
  • 1 tablespoon fried garlic, or fried shallots
  • 1 tablespoon chopped spring onions
  • ground white pepper, to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Wash rice until water runs clear. Add dried prawns together with soaking liquid and 800 ml boiling water.
    • Bring to a boil. Stir to prevent rice from sticking. Keep rice boiling rapidly for 10 minutes, checking and stirring to make sure rice doesn’t boil over.
    • Top up with boiling water if necessary,depending on the porridge consistency you prefer.
    • Continue boiling till rice is just soft but surface is still firm ( another 5 minutes ).
    • Season porridge with soy sauce and pickled cabbage.
    • Add fish and stir gently. Turn off heat once porridge returns to a gentle simmer.
    • Add dried squid with the soaking liquid and stir through. Remove pot from stove.
    • Adjust seasoning to taste. Transfer porridge to serving bowls to prevent fish from over cooking. Sprinkle with spring onions, fried garlic and ground white pepper.
    • Serve immediately with light soy sauce. Fish porridge is best served steaming hot.
    • Can also add julienned young ginger next to the spring onion.

Enjoy!
