Rice porridge with mushrooms and winged kelp
Savoury porridge is not the first dish that springs to the mind of most Westerners, but in Asian cuisine, rice porridge is a popular dish that can be enjoyed at any time of day. Just as easy to make as its sweeter cousin, just as filling, and just as delicious – if not more so! If you want to infuse your rice porridge with extra seaweed goodness, you can substitute the water for homemade dashi (seaweed stock). Just be careful to adjust the salt levels if you choose to do this, because dashi is naturally salted due to its seaweed component. Top with crispy onions for a naughty-yet-delicious treat!
