CYB,
Wolfberries and Lotus Seed Porridge
Another easy porridge with just a few ingredients. Can be vegetarian or non-vegetarian according to your preference. Again, I substituted the vegetarian ham with some minced meat.
Tasty soft porridge with crunchy lotus seeds, fragrant mushrooms and sweet wolfberries [kei chi]. Comfort food for Sunday lunch.
