Sweet Potato Porridge

Sweet Potato Porridge is a comforting Vegan Korean breakfast dish that combines creamy sweet potatoes with rice to create a deliciously smooth and hearty meal. Infused with a hint of vanilla and topped with nuts, this porridge is both nourishing and satisfying.

Ingredients

• Sweet potato - 200 grams, peeled and cubed
• Short-grain rice - 100 grams, rinsed

• Salt - a pinch
• Chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds) - 30 grams

4. Mash the sweet potatoes into the rice mixture using a fork or potato masher until you achieve a smooth consistency.
