Martha Stewart Cast Iron

Brad and I were so lucky to receive a large red Martha Stewart cast iron casserole dish for an engagement present! We have already made chili and tons of rice porridge with this pot. The Chinese call rice porridge congee or jook. It is very simple to make: put one cup of washed rice (I use brown) with 9 cups of water, and simmer it on low for 3 hours. You can throw in some mung beans for added nutrition if you want. Once you are finished simmering, you can eat it with a bit of soy sauce or miso. I personally love it with bitter melon cooked in soy sauce and mirin!
