Simple Rice Porridge served with Chicken and Green Onion ( Bubur Ayam Sederhana )

Mostly this dish is available in the morning or evening in Jakarta. The vendor sell this food in front of a home. 

Actually this dish is one of Chinese Food, but people in Indonesia modified it. So, this dish is different one each other in every city in Indonesia.

I haven't cooked this dish before and now, I made it with my own style. This dish wasn't my original recipe, i searched from some cooking websites then i made with my own creation and turn out so good.

This dish is perfect for cool weather.

This dish is missing sliced Chinese long doughnut, because i don't find in our city, maybe next time i make it.

Here, I will share the recipe with you and maybe give you some ideas.

Please don't hesitate to drop me any comments or questions regarding this recipe, I need it to improve my cooking in the future. Thank you :-)
