Although I call this Breakfast Porridge, it's really congee, and you can eat it at other times of the day. It was one of the many dishes I cooked on a trip to Malaysia and is particularly memorable because I did so on a boat moored beside the famous Bridge On The River Kwai, just as the train arrived. It was a very moving moment.
