Shiitake & Scallop Chinese-style Porridge

This is a dish that is easy to digest and smells great with Shiitake. By coating the rice with oil, it will cook faster. The rice tends to stick to the bottom of the pot before it starts to boil, so gently stir the whole pot once it starts boiling. Recipe provided by: Hattori Nutrition College
