Results and Serving suggestions

Serve warm or even cold in the refrigerator is also very good. A touch of sweetened condensed milk will give it a great flavor. But if you don't like this you can skip it, the point is that this porridge is gingered. My mom's recipe usually also uses shallots as an additive but since I don't really like them I skip it.

The green beans are indeed very soft, which is the texture I wanted. Moreover, the addition of ginger makes it even fresher, there is a slightly spicy flavor from the ginger and it makes it even more delicious. The sweetness is just right I'm sure those of you who don't like too sweet this is a suitable choice for you.

Well make this porridge as your dessert or appetizer is also very suitable. And believe me this classic porridge dish is very light in the mouth.
