Comfort food - Porridge

Yesterday was a busy work day for both myself and the hubby. He wasn't feeling too well, so I decided to cook something simple and nutritious for dinner, with whatever ingredients I can find in the fridge.
It turned out really tasty and satisfying.

Ingredients
- 1-2 carrots (grated or chopped up)
- 5-6 dried scallops (pre-soaked till soften)
- A handful of wolfberry seeds (washed)
- 1/3 cup of corn nibblets (I used those frozen pre-packed ones)
- 1.5 to 2 litres of pork bone / chicken stock
- Uncooked rice for 2
- Salt and pepper

Method
- Rinse the rice and cook with pork / chicken stock in a pot over medium heat. Add the scallops.
- When it boils, turn down the heat to low and add the grated carrots.
- When the porridge is about cooked, add the corn and wolfberry seeds. Continue cooking for another 10-15mins. Add more stock or water if the liquid dries up.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and serve while hot.
