Mulan’s Happy Porridge Recipe

Start your morning like a warrior—with a bowl of warm, comforting porridge just like the one Mushu serves Mulan! Topped with sunny-side-up eggs and crispy bacon, this simple dish is filled with cozy flavor and Disney nostalgia.

Whether you’re prepping for a magical movie marathon or just need a little comfort food, Mulan’s Happy Porridge hits the spot.

Serves: 4

• 1 cup white rice

• 8 cups water

• 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 8 large eggs

• 4 slices bacon

• Make the Porridge
  In a large saucepan, bring 8 cups of water to a boil.
  Add 1 cup white rice and reduce to medium heat. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring very gently and infrequently.
  In the final 2 minutes, add the grated ginger.
  Once rice is cooked and porridge has thickened, turn off heat and whisk gently to break up the grains and give the porridge a smooth, creamy texture.

• Cook the Eggs
  Melt butte in a skillet over low heat. Crack in the eggs and cook sunny side up—so the yolks stay whole and happy.

• Fry the Bacon
  In a separate skillet, cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy.

• Assemble the Smile
  Pour porridge into bowls. Top each with 2 sunny-side-up eggs (the eyes) and a curved slice of bacon (the smile). Just like Mushu made it!

Want to make it even more magical? Serve this with a warm jasmine tea and your favorite Mulan quote. Porridge can be made with oats, quinoa, or other grains—use what you have on hand!
