Tips and Comments:

• Boiled rice with Pork Bones or Chicken Bones and Dried Scallop for better taste
• Ginger is to remove the strong seafood taste from prawns, hence ginger is not required to be added in if seafood is not one of the ingredients.
• For this porridge, I will prefer it to be less thick with rice grain still visible (more like Teochew Style than Cantonese Style) hence, the cooking time for the rice grain to break down is shorter.
