An Oriental Breakfast
A wholesome shiitake mushroom and chicken red rice porridge with wolfberries, ginger, green tea quail eggs and szechwan preserved vegetables. Best eaten hot with red wine vinegar, ginger-infused olive oil, coriander and vegemite. Recommended with a side accompanient of beancurd.
This meal is intended as a healthier, low glycaemic index (GI), modern interpretation of the traditional Asian white rice porridge (with green century eggs), for diners who normally enjoy such a meal for breakfast. Low GI meals help manage and prevent diabetes, a condition which seems more prevalent in oriental persons who consume white rice as a staple.

Hi Cin, thanks for the compliment! Styling the dish was more difficult than cooking it. Anyway, the aim of the dish is to generate ideas for a healthier meal for diners who don't eat milk and cereal for breakfast. Here are links to related articles in this weblog:
