Sweet Potato Porridge

Let's try a basic dish which can be used to complement the dishes introduced earlier. Rice is a staple food & when cooked into porridge, is palatable & light, especially good if you're looking for something simple & refreshing.

Ingredients (serves 2 to 3 persons):
- 1 cup raw white rice
- 9 cups water
- 1 medium sweet potato (either yellow flesh or orange flesh is ok)

Method:
- wash & rinse rice
- cook rice & water in automatic rice cooker or large pot
- while cooking, peel sweet potato & break into small pieces, place into pot to cook together
- when done (about 40 minutes later), add a little salt & sesame oil (optional)

Variation:
- for a healthier version, white rice can be substituted with brown rice or multi-grain mixed rice

It's good eaten as it is or accompanied with any of the easy-to-cook dishes introduced in the previous articles.
