Beef porridge with egg

Beef is considered highly nutritious.

Not only protein and fats but lots of essential fatty acids. A great source of nutrients for people who engage in manual work and growing teens.

It is also high in iron, helps to alleviate nutritional anaemia and suitable for pregnant ladies.

You will find 3 beef porridge recipes here.

The first 2 uses thinly sliced beef and egg. These 2 ingredients goes well together in congee. The difference is in the seasonings and 1 uses cooked rice porridge while the other cook the porridge from scratch. Try them both.

The 3rd one combines beef with fresh prawns.

Marinating the beef is an important part of the instructions. Add the cornstarch last and mix well to seal the juice.

Do not overcook the beef. Beef slices just done are very juicy and tender. Overcook and they turn tough and dry.

If the beef slices are really thin, they can even be added just before serving, letting the heat from the porridge cook the beef.

Same goes with the egg. It is best to add the egg mixture in just before serving. Allow whoever is eating the congee to stir the egg mixture. Call it playing with food or interactive food.
