Fried Porridge

Fried porridge is a family favourite. It is very tasty and can either be eaten on its own or with chilli sauce. 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups porridge
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp dried prawns, chopped or minced
• 1 egg
• 25 g parsley, coriander or chives
• 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
• Cooking oil

Method:

• The first step is to cook the porridge. [Or you may use the leftover porridge from your breakfast, lunch or dinner.] Scoop the porridge into a sieve and let the water drain from the porridge into a bowl. Keep the water for later use, if necessary.

• Transfer the porridge into a mixing bowl. Add the all-purpose flour into the bowl of porridge and mix them to form a batter.

• Add in the egg and mix well.

• Add chopped or minced dried prawns to the batter.

• You may add either parsley, coriander or chives into the batter.

• Season well with salt, soy sauce and black pepper powder.

• Note: The batter should be able to hold together in a nice consistency. If it is too dry, add in some of the porridge water. If too watery, add in some all-purpose flour and mix well.

• Heat some cooking oil in the kuali.

• When the oil is hot, using 2 spoons to shape the batter in a round ball.

• Drop it into the kuali and use the spatula to flatten it.

• After some time, gently turn over the batter to fry the other side.

• Scoop up onto a kitchen towel to soak up any oil on the fried porridge.

• Serve, either on its own or with chili sauce.
