Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice then place in pot with broth, bring to boil, then simmer until rice is porridge like- approx. 45 minutes.

  2. Combine above ingredients and when rice is porridge-like, then pinch off ~1” pieces and drop them into the porridge.

  3. Add the ginger to the porridge after the sausage and cook for 5 minutes – until the meat is cooked through.
