How to Make Spinach and Pork Porridge: A Simple Guide

Spinach and pork porridge is a nutritious and comforting dish, perfect for any meal. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making it effortlessly.

Ingredients: ½ cup rice, 100g lean pork (minced or thinly sliced), a handful of fresh spinach, 4 cups water or broth, 1 tbsp cooking oil, 1 minced garlic clove, salt, and white pepper to taste. Optional: a dash of sesame oil for flavor.

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Rinse rice until water runs clear. Trim and wash spinach, then roughly chop it. Marinate pork with a pinch of salt and pepper for 10 minutes.

2. Cook the porridge base: In a pot, bring water/broil to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the porridge thickens.

3. Cook the pork: Heat oil in a pan, sauté garlic until fragrant, then add pork. Stir-fry until no longer pink, then transfer to the porridge.

4. Add spinach: Stir in spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt, white pepper, and optional sesame oil.

5. Serve: Simmer for another 2 minutes, then ladle into bowls. Enjoy hot!

Tips: For creamier porridge, soak rice for 30 minutes before cooking. Use chicken broth for richer flavor. This dish is packed with iron, vitamins, and protein, making it a healthy choice for all ages.
