I have caught a cold since last Friday :'(
Unfortunately, I got a disease: Gastroenteritis.
(It is an illness of the stomach and other food passages that causes diarrhea and vomiting.)
That is Stomachache!
Because of it, I had to go without food for a day.
I could not eat and drink anything.
Just only particular water was allowed. It tasted bad like a salty sports drink.
I was so hungry!!!
So, I decided to go back my hometown.
I took a rest for a while, and next day
My grandmother cooked to me rice porridge (in Japanese: okayu)
It taste was mild and soft due to digests easily.

Are you OK ?
ReplyDeleteI have always stomach trouble.
So I understand your pain.
I like okayu with pickled plums,
but I have heard it has strong stimulation.
Be careful choice of seasoning.
Take care!!

Hi,Noriko!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you recovered from the illness.
Your stomach and intestines may still sensitive,please take care of it.
Okayu is very healthy foods!
I sometimes put chickens and ginger.
It is good to heat your body.
Hi Noriko, this is Megumi.
ReplyDeleteAre you OK? What is a cause of your disease?
However, I often eat okayu when I catch a cold. My mother always make it, but I don't know how to make it.
If my friend catch a cold, I would like to cook for them :)
What kind of seasoning do you like? Please let me know :)
Take care,
Megumi
Nice to meet you! I'm Hiromi.
ReplyDeleteOh, are you fine now??
It must be difficult not to eat anything. I don't want to drink salty sports drink!!
When I was young, I didn't understand the deliciousness of rice porridge. I thought it was too thin.
However, now I like it. Even though I'm not sick, I eat it sometimes:-p
It is easy to get a packed rice porridge at a super market. When I get hungry a little, I eat it.(I eat five meals in a day)
I thought what the difference is between rice porridge and boiled rice. They are similar to each other. Perhaps we may use green tea when I cook boiled rice?? I don't know:-)
Take care, Noriko!!
Noriko - I hope you're feeling better! My favorite thing about being sick is having my mom make me comfort foods. I always ask for oyako-donburi :0) But now I live alone so I have to cook my own comfort food when I'm sick. Maybe next time I'll try rice porridge!
ReplyDeleteOne question about your reciep, what is the ratio of water to rice? Normally it is 1 cup rice: 2 cups of water, so to make porridge do I add more water?
Also, what is the difference between okayu and zosui?
