Rice Porridge and Tempe Sambal

Sometimes you can get tired of eating the same old food or any fancy food that fill you table. Sometimes, you would like to eat something simple, soft and ideal for the stomach especially after taking too much meat and proteins. A simple dish like this rice porridge is best taken with something that can add some punch and flavour to it. Normally, we would eat this with fried salted fish and anchovies, but this time I have made a hot tempe sambal to be taken with the porridge. Do try!

Ingredients (For the rice porridge)
1 cup rice
salt, to taste
6 cups water or more

*Cook the rice until very tender.

Tempe Sambal
2 squares of tempe, cut into small cubes
a handful of anchovies, cleaned
4 fresh red chillies, pounded
6 bird's eye chillies, pounded
2 garlic, pounded
1 big onion, pounded
salt, to taste
1 tea spoon sugar
1 table spoon vinegar
oil, for frying

Methods
1. Fry the anchovies and tempe until golden and crispy. Put them aside for later use.

2. In a hot frying pan, add some oil and fry the pounded items until they become aromatic.

3. Add in the sugar and vinegar before adding in some salt.

5. Cook and stir well before adding in the anchovies and tempe.

6. Stir well for a few seconds, before turning off the heat.

7. Serves with the rice porridge while still hot.

*serves 2-4 people
