black glutinous rice porridge

not quite a big beginner luck for me today.. haha. for MasBar entry this month, i hate to say, i'm not really do well. this month's theme is Sweet Porridge and i was eager to make black glutinous rice porridge. main reason is because i like it, the other reason is because i have never made this before.

the way you're supposed to cook black glutinous rice porridge is different with how you cook the regular white rice porridge. in order to get the super smooth and mushy rice, you have to at least soak the glutinous rice overnight and drain them the next day. when you've finished drain them, that's the time it's ready to be cooked.

since i didn't know anything about cooking glutinous rice (and forgot to google it), i cooked them just like cooking white rice porridge. that's why it's not so mushy and a little weird for my taste. hahaha. the weird i mean here is that i found that i don't really like this glutinous rice porridge i made though generally i would really love to it black glutinous rice porridge. i'll cook it better next time..
