simple baby porridge


With Baby Chickadee having turned 6 months of age, I am reliving the days of weaning foods.  It is quite a bit of a challenge trying to remember how to cook food for little ones who do not have any teeth yet.

After some trial and error, I have managed to cook a pot of simple baby porridge.  I used homemade stock comprising anchovies, carrots, potatoes, wolfberries and pork.



INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup uncooked rice - I used a mixture of white and brown rice
1 small piece of pork - let the butcher know that you want the pork to "boil soup"
3 cups homemade stock

METHOD

1. Wash the rice thoroughly and leave to soak for at least 30 minutes.

2. Add the rice, pork and stock to the rice/porridge cooker.

3. Select "baby porridge" on the cooker.  Leave to cook.

4. When the porridge has cooked, remove the pork, stir the porridge thoroughly and serve warm.
