M loves porridge. Not any normal porridge. Teochew porridge. Chicken soup and rice in it. Frankly, I can't stand it as I find it bland and boring but I have managed to make the most out of this situation by having a chinese stir fry dish with it. M doesn't like Chinese food in general aside from the deep fried battered stuff like cereal prawn and salt and pepper squid. But strangely she's alright with my stir fried dishes if she has her favourite porridge with it.
This recipe was taken from my mom when I started my PhD. She wrote down some of her traditional recipes in an exercise book for me to use. Basically, fry spring onions (the white parts of it) with oil, add pork slices marinated with light soya sauce, salt, pepper and corn flour and stir fry it for a while until the pork is brown on both sides. Add carrots and mushrooms. Add a mixture of chinese wine, sesame oil, salt and sugar and cover till all is cooked. Garnish with spring onions.
