🍳 Delicious white rice porridge with fried salted fish and organic eggs
This dish is super easy to make. Just prepare a few basic ingredients and you've got a delicious, healthy breakfast.
Ingredients
- Cooked rice (you can use leftover rice from the previous meal or freshly cooked rice)
- Water
- Salted fish (such as salted mackerel, salted mackerel, or other salted small fish of your choice)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Organic eggs (or chicken/duck eggs, as desired)
- Optional side dishes (additional flavor and nutritional value can be added, such as fried garlic, chopped green onions, ground pepper, or even a mango/shallot/sliced chili salad to go with the fried salted fish)
Method
- Making White Rice Porridge
- Place cooked rice in a pot or container, then add water (approximately 1 part cooked rice to 3-4 parts water, or adjust to taste).
- Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Continue to simmer until the rice grains begin to expand and burst, reaching the desired thickness.
- If the water becomes too dry or you prefer a more liquid porridge, add more water.
- Once the desired consistency and thickness is achieved, turn off the heat and let it simmer.
- Frying the Salted Fish
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot (try dropping a piece of fish into the pan; if it puffs, it's done), slowly add the salted fish.
- Start with the larger salted fish, then add the smaller fish to ensure even cooking.
- Fry until the fish is golden brown, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and fragrant throughout the house.
- Remove the salted fish from the pan and drain on paper towels until completely dry. This will help the fish stay crispy for longer.
- How to Boil Organic Eggs (Soft-Boiled)
- Bring water to a boil and add the eggs.
- For soft-boiled eggs, boil for 6-7 minutes. For fully cooked eggs, boil for 9-10 minutes.
- When the time is up, remove the eggs and immediately immerse them in ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. This will help them peel easily and ensure a beautiful, runny yolk.
- Preparation and Serving
- Scoop hot white rice porridge into bowls or cups.
- Arrange the crispy fried salted fish, drained from the oil, on a side dish.
- Peel the soft-boiled eggs and place them alongside.
- Arrange the rice porridge, salted fish, and all the side dishes on the table. Prepare spoons and cups.
- Everyone is ready! Scoop the rice porridge into your own bowl, top with a soft-boiled egg cut to reveal a runny yolk, and enjoy with the delicious fried salted fish. This completes a delicious and heartwarming breakfast.
This dish is more than just breakfast. It's a familiar flavor, a part of the Thai way of life that helps you feel full, comfortable, and start the day with happiness. 🥰
For today, I must take my leave, my friends. See you next time. Thank you for following and supporting me. Thank you very much.
