About Prawn porridge

Prawn porridge is a comforting, savory dish originating from Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese and Southeast Asian traditions. This hearty recipe combines tender prawns with rice cooked in a flavorful broth until it reaches a creamy, porridge-like consistency. Often enriched with garlic, ginger, and spring onions, it delivers a balance of protein from the prawns and complex carbohydrates from the rice. Prawns are an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12, promoting heart health and supporting immunity. The dish is typically low in fat, though sodium levels may rise depending on seasoning or broth used. Variations may include additional vegetables, boosting fiber and vitamin content. Simple yet nourishing, prawn porridge is a wholesome, satisfying meal for all ages.
