Chicken Porridge

Man, even though he has nothing to do, Hadi sure is lazy about cooking these days. Today, he made chicken porridge, which is a nice chain from roast chicken, but still...

Making porridge is nice and simple, though the washing up to do afterwards (if you use a stainless steel pot anyway) is absolutely horrible! >.<>

My earliest memories of porridge goes waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy back to when i was a kid. I absolutelly loved Ibu's bubur ayam (chicken porridge) but for some reason, a period of time after that, I did not like it quite as much. Oh well. The porridge from my childhood included delectable pieces of chicken as well as chicken wings in a steaming hot bowl of soft porridge. Really yummy.

Hadi's porridge today followed the same principle. He boiled some chicken legs (no wings :( ) until the meat just falls off the bone. And he continued boiling it until the chicken was all disintegrated. Then, he just seasoned it with some chicken stock and put in the rice and waited for it to cook. The amount of rice and water you use just depends on how mushy you want the rice to be, I guess. He forgot the pepper though, White pepper goes really well with porridge, I think. Add in just just as soon as the rice is cooked :D Or serve at the table, if you prefer, doesn't matter.

The end result of his cooking was yummy, though a bit strange looking. There were random pieces of chicken bone all over, which made for messy eating. He was too lazy to take out the bones, but you might want to consider that. The porridge was nice and salty (mmmmmmm...) but Hadi forgot to add in some pepper, like I said earlier. That is easily remedied though, hehe :D There was a LOT of chicken pieces (I think Hadi boiled the chicken a bit too long though) so that was very nice. Just look at the picture! You can even see the steam coming off it ;) Nice and hot, hehe.

Funnily enough, Hadi didn't eat too much of it, said he didn't like it so much. As for me, I had yet another exam today (and it went quite well, though not as good as I would have hoped) and was snacking before dinner. Should stop that, but I was so hungry :( Even in the exam hall my tummy was rumbling...what to do? :( Anyway, because of that, Justin got a whole load of porridge, for which, I think, he was very happy about.
