Korean Mushroom Porridge
Mention porridge and the common reaction is that is sick people’s food. While that is quite true (most of the time), I love to indulge in a bowl of piping hot rice porridge for breakfast or lunch even when I’m perfectly healthy.

1. In a medium pan, add in 1 tsp sesame oil and sauté both mushrooms. Add in a pinch of salt and cook for a couple mins, until slightly softened. 2. In a deep based pot, drizzle in 1 tsp sesame oil and toss the rice in the pan lightly. Add in mushroom stock, kelp and bring to boil. 3. Lower the heat and cover. Stir occasionally to prevent porridge from sticking. Continue to cook for 20 – 25 mins, or until it reaches a creamy consistency. Add more stock if necessary. 4. Remove kelp pieces and add in cooked mushroom. Continue to simmer for another 10 mins. Season with some salt and sesame oil.
