abalone chicken peanut porridge 鲍鱼鸡丝花生粥

I usually cook plain porridge with my rice cooker but it always turn out not soft enough and still with the rice shapes. I also cook a lots of porridge when my son in 1 year old. But still cannot achieve the same texture if we compared with the porridge food stall in the restaurant.

Finally I read an article about cooking and instructions of cooking soft and mussy kind of porridge with minimum time required. Surprisingly, it was very easy but need to keep on stirring during the cooking process. For me, it worth all the hassle!
