Green Moringa Leaves Rice Porridge (vegan)

Veggie Chef Heidi (101 Cookbooks)

The term life changing is not one to use lightly, but this moringa powder porridge recipe fits the bill.

It’s an effortless, one pot, green, nutrient-rich twist on an Asian favorite. Rice porridge is commonly referred to as congee.

This version incorporates a lot of chopped spinach, a lot, enough that the body will notice. If whole moringa leaves can be found, even better. Otherwise, the powder is available at the health food store.

Use an Instant Pot or in any thick-bottomed pot on the stovetop, which requires a little more babysitting. Similar to this Instant Pot Congee with Brown Rice and Turmeric, put rice into the pot, add water or broth or coconut milk and shredded coconut, walk away, and start daydreaming about toppings.

Lime wedge, goji berries, crushed kale chips, sesame seeds, toasted nori, pepitas, raw hemp seeds, almonds, or jungle peanuts... Tofu can be sliced thinly, drizzled with Braggs liquid aminos, and draped over the porridge. Sweet might be preferred, so add some prunes, dried apricots, or peaches, and add a little coconut cream on top. What leftovers can be brought to life in this morning dish originally meant to save leftover rice?
