Chef notes
This hearty porridge is way a great dish to start the day. The filling rice, protein-rich eggs and salty bacon will keep you fueled for hours. Plus, it's always nice to wake up to a smiley face!
Swap option: Instead of — or in addition to — the sesame oil you can add ginger, rice vinegar, other oils, garlic, etc.
