Wild Salmon Porridge/Congee 稀饭

When you are not feeling well with cold,a piping bowl of hot porridge or congee is a welcome sight,right? Porridge or congee is a comfort food which mostly all Asian love it when we are down with cold or flu.I bought a pack of frozen wild salmon from Walmart.Wild salmon have paler color texture than farmed salmon but the fact to the matter it's healthier and safer than farmed salmon accordingly to some report. By the way I used 2 pieces or portion from a pack to cook with porridge.I like the salmon with some grilled texture and flavor on the outer part,so I toast the salmon into the toaster for 15 minutes first before dump into the porridge.It's really super delicious and great!!

1 cup uncooked rice,washed and drained,(any type grain long rice but I used jasmine rice)
1000 ml cold water,plus extra if necessary
2 pieces of wild salmon,(thawed,previously frozen) about 4 oz

Add extra water if necessary if it's too thick or dry.
