The most common breakfast in China is rice porridge and some pickles. To cook basic rice porridge, you just need white rice and water.

Fill a medium sized pan with 700ml water and 100 gram of rice, cook in medium heat for about 25-30 minutes, and job done! Since there is no seasoning added to the porridge, people often eat them with salty pickles which often can be bought in any local shops or supermarkets.

If you think plain rice porridge is too boring, you can add toppings or seasonings. This recipe may give you some ideas to start.
