Rice porridge with garnishes from How to Cook Everything Completely Revised Twentieth Anniversary Edition: Simple Recipes for Great Food (page 155) by Mark Bittman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I made a pot of this today (for the week) taking mjes’s suggestion to use Thai broken rice. I used 3/4 Thai broken rice and 1/4 brown sticky rice. I flavored with reconstituted (from dried) lobster mushrooms and Chinese sausage. My preliminary tastes indicate it’s a winner. Can’t wait for my breakfasts this week!

    I spent nearly 50 years trying to duplicate the texture of Sam Wo's jook. The number of older Chinese diners was evidence that it wasn't just me - Sam Wo's jook was special. Ignore Mark Bittman's choice of rice and get yourself a bag of broken rice from a Thai grocer. That makes this a heavenly recipe.
