Porridge by Soy Milk Maker

I've owned this soy milk maker for quite some time but so far only use it to make soy milk! After testing out recipe on porridge making using the machine, I'm hooked! Just need to soak the grains overnight and best if you have some homemade stock on hand, a bowl of thick and creamy porridge will be ready in just 15 mins! The machine will cook and grind the porridge till smooth, unlike if cooking over stove I've to constantly check on the pot to avoid the porridge from scorching.  Hehehe another great way to prepare simple and healthy meals when Mummy feeling too tired or lazy on some days!
