Chef's Tips

• 💡For an even creamier porridge, you can use a combination of milk and a splash of cream.
• 💡Adjust the amount of ginger to your preference; a little extra can add a wonderful warming kick.
• 💡If you don't have cooked rice on hand, you can cook fresh rice, but ensure it's slightly overcooked for a softer texture in the porridge.
