On a cold morning, nothing sooths the tummy like the Japanese Zosui. Similar to Okayu, which is preapred using uncooked rice verses Zosui which is made using up your leftover cooked rice.
The Chinese are famous for a similar dish, congee which is normally simmered for hours and has a much stickier texture. All very comforting dishes. Serve with some pickled vegetables on the side.
