Basic Baby Porridge
Serving: 2 bowls | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
1/4 cup rice
3 cups water
3-4 oz sweet potato, cut into small pieces
1 egg yolk, optional
Method:
Put the rice into a small pot and rinse with cold water a few times. Discard the cloudy water and add 3 cups of filtered water into the rice. Add the sweet potatoes and bring it to on medium heat. Lower the heat to simmer, cover the pot, and let cook for 45 minutes or until the rice breaks down completely. If using egg yolk, lightly beat the egg yolk and add to the porridge. Stir a few times, and let cook for about 1-2 minutes. Before serving, use a blender or stick blender to puree the porridge. Serve it cool to avoid burning your baby.

Baby G is the most lucky boy to have a mother who can cook.
Ooooh!!! I’ve been wondering wut I should feed my baby.
made pretty similar porridge for mine except the eggs… tho they grow up eating chinese n english food, they still like rice porridge & one can be creative with the ingredients we put in. Baby G is such a good eater, u r lucky!
Yes, he loves his porridge.
I finally received the much-awaited book ‘Easy Chinese Recipe’ at Perth today. The photos are beautiful and the recipes look mouth watering. Will get my wife to try to make some!
Wow! Thanks Bee. I’m going to try it this weekend. Now, do you add fried or hardboiled egg yolk to the porridge? From the pix, it looks like fried one.
No, I just beat the egg and add it while the porridge is cooking. Stir it a little and you have it in small pieces. :)
Bryan, thanks for your support and glad you like my book. :)
This is a classic!
Made this today for my sick little daughter! She ate it up! Can’t wait to try other baby recipes. Since she’s older I used chicken stock and didn’t blend it. Thanks!
Hi bee, can the porridge be frozen? Can I cook more and freeze for other time Or is it best ate fresh? Thanks!
Eat fresh, porridge will have “wind” after frozen.
I cook porridge for my baby since she was six month. I share my experience to my neighbour. We think, home made porridge is healthier and cheaper. Tq for your suggestion. Oh, my baby also likes sweet potatoe.
Hi, wondering if I could feed this to my four month old babies?
Yes, you sure can.
We have been cooking porridge in a crockpot (slow cooker). We put it on low and leave it overnight. In the morning we add ginger, green onion, chopped cabbage and an egg. It comes out perfect every time.
Hi, this sounds delicious, will definitely try this one maybe for dinner, thanks for sharing:-)
Can i add simple potato rather than sweet potato.
For feeding my 4.5 month old baby?
Can you freeze the leftovers?
