Who says porridge is only for the sick? This recipe is a dish that I cooked over again and again, I can eat it day and night, without getting tired of it. And the best is.. it is so nutritious and guilt-free! I have cooked this for my family members who are not feeling well, they commented that this dish really opened up their appetites! Plus, using brown rice.. this is healthy to the max!
You probably noticed all these porridge photos look different, this is because these are cooked over different days.. different veggies every time! You can choose a few from the selection of veggies I recommended below, or you can just use any veggies in your fridge, just explore! But do not put too much for each type, or else you will end up having more veggies than rice, LOL! It happens to me all the time!

2. Reduce the heat to medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom, until the rice has slightly broken down.

4. When the mixture has reached your consistency, add veggies (B), cook for another 3-5 minutes. Stir in seasoning and mix well.
