My Frind in the Frudge

I have been running around like a chicken with my frick frackin head cut off, so I haven't had time to sit down. I did, however have my first bowl of Congee, which is a traditial Chinese type of porridge eaten as a snack or for breakfast. It was so yummy, but it took me about an hour to eat, as I only had one of those little plastic Chinese takeaway spoons. My little pixie Chinese friend Louise says it is easy to make at home, so check out this recipe:

2 cup short-grained rice
1/2 cup glutinous rice
6 cups Chinese chicken broth, or
6 cups regular chicken broth with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 slice ginger the size of a quarter

Wash rice. Place in pot with Chinese chicken broth, or regular chicken broth to which soy and ginger has been added.

Bring to a boil. When boiling, reduce heat to low. Cook for 2 hours, partially covered, stirring frequently. Soup is done when it reaches a porridge-like consistency. Remove ginger slice if you have added it.

You can add chopped bok choy, or small slivers of chicken. Leftover turkey after a Thanksgiving meal is another great addition, and a turkey carcass can provide a nice broth instead of chicken soup.

Serves 6 - 8.


Ok, I'm off in literally two minutes! If I don't make any contact, someone please look for me in Taumarunui. This is the only map I have been given:
