Seafood Porridge

A healthier version of what's served in restaurants (minus the MSG, and more ingridients)
Ingredients:
150 gr sliced fish (choose between white cod, dory, batang, and sea bass, don't use hallibut -- it gets tough and dry)
100 gr scallop (can use dried or fresh) -- I prefer dried because it's more fragrant, but the fresh ones taste smoother, so it depends on your preference
150 gr shrimp meat
100 gr crab meat (can use immitation)
*optional: 100 gr sliced squid -- I personally dont like it because it tastes like rubber if it's cooked too long
8 dried shitake, soak in hot water for min 2 hours, sliced
2 cups of rice
5 cups of water (use canned chicken stock for more taste)
seasoning: pepper, salt, soya sauce, mirin (to taste)
5 cm of ginger, sliced
3 tbsp of sesame oil
sliced green onion for garnishing
How to make:
1. heat the sesame oil in the porridge pan, sautee ginger until fragrant
2. put in rice and water and leave it for around 10 min (medium heat) or until it boils, then stirr until the porridge thicken (around 15-20 min)
3. put in the rest of ingridients and stirr until it boils again
4. served with green onion as garnish
