Method
- Prepare the porridge base with the shallot and ginger. (See here or here).
- Pick only the leafy part of the spinach (a little tender stalk is fine). Wash and cut into small pieces suitable for the age of your toddler.

i would prefer por choi
How long does it take to cook it overstove..I dnt ve a slow cooker.thks
In most cooking, you can mimic slow cooker cooking on a stove. You need to have a good pot (thick steel bottom, and heavy glass or steel cover) so that heat do not escape easily. Use a very small flame just to keep the content at boiling temperature. Judging from this recipe, you need quite a small pot as big pot for little content loose heat very fast and the porridge may not cook very well. Hope this helps.
