When my family gets sick of porridge I make oatmeal hotcakes from rolled oats, milk, egg, wheatgerm, sometimes mashed banana, and a little flour and baking powder. It’s like porridge in a pancake – yum!

Curious Baker – lovely to hear from another porridge fan
LexEat – thank you!
suzanne – let me know if you enjoy this if you try it
VeggieCook – thanks, I’ve been meaning to check out Chinese style porridge for a little while
Johanna – interesting that you call it fruit mince.
Elaine – what a good idea, a porridgey christmas card! I might think about that for next year :-) A Big Happy New Year to you to
Kylie – it’s not a silly question at all (I did wonder if I ought to expand upon the whole mincemeat idea when I was writing the post). Our Christmas mincemeat is a mix of fruit, sugar and suet (you can use veggie suet). I must admit to usually buying it in a jar but I’ve heard good things about Delia Smith’s recipe http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/cuisine/european/english/christmas-easy-home-made-christmas-mincemeat.html
Arwen – the girls have been enjoying their porridge a lot! I’ve been giving them a mix of chicken food and oats mixed up with hot water

I love the beautiful presentation. This is going to sound like a silly question, but please forgive me as I’m not English. Does your mincemeat actually have meat in it, or is it only fruit? I’d love a good recipe suggestion if you have one.

This beautiful photo could be a Christmas card. And once again, you’ve proved yourself to be the porridge queen with these yum topping suggestions.
Happy New Year, Sophie.

Yes, I like porridge although they may need some time longer than a stir fry dish. I have some Chinese rice porridge recipes you might be interested in.
