Step 2: Cook the Porridge, garnish and serve
  1. Heat up the claypot on low heat, pour in rice grains. Stir fry till it turns slight yellow. #Tip: This will increase the fragrance of the rice and it helps to break down into porridge quicker.
  2. Add in 2.5L hot water. Bring the porridge to a boil, lower the heat to simmer and cook for about 15 mins until it thicken. Stir the porridge and scrap the bottom of the pot gently. This will prevent the rice grain from sticking to the base of the pot.
  3. Add in ginger, minced meat, mushroom, and flounder powder. Continue to cook till the porridge reaches your desired doneness.
  4. Add in crab, prawns, and clams.
  5. Add in all the seasoning, adjust the taste accordingly. The porridge is done when the crab turns orange and the porridge is simmering. #Tip: Do not overcook the porridge as the prawn and clams will dry up.
  6. Garnish with chopped baby celery.
