Method
  1. Meatballs: Combine the ingredients until it becomes sticky. Let it rest for 5 mins, then shape it into thumb-sized meatballs.
  2. Porridge: Combine ingredients in a rice-cooker. Leave the lid slightly ajar to let some steam escape to prevent overflowing. Cook for 15 to 20 mins and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. At this point, you can use a hand whisk or fork to whisk the rice if you prefer a softer consistency.
  3. Cooking the meatballs: Once the porridge is cooked, stir ½ cup of water or stock and mix well. Drop the meatballs one by one into the rice-cooker and cook according to instructions. Cover with a lid and let it cook for 5 mins. Turn off the heat to prevent burning.
  4. Assembly: Stir the seasoning into the porridge and adjust to taste. Serve warm; top with a soft-boiled egg and garnish if desired.
