DRIED OYSTERS AND MEAT BALLS PORRIDGE

Another tasty porridge which is an easy, complete meal for all.  This is a homey porridge that is easy to prepare yet it is flavourful and tasty. Served with shredded ginger and chopped spring onions, add flavor and fragrance to this simple porridge.
I added some crispy Chinese crullers to this porridge. Nice.
