Nanakusagayu (Seven Herbs Rice Porridge)
Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 10min
Number of servings: 2
Ingredients:
70g Nanakusa (seven herbs)
250g (8.8oz.) cooked white rice (Japanese short-grain rice)
500ml water
a pinch of salt
Directions:
1. Wash Nanakusa. Lightly boil, then drain.
2. Cut off the roots of Nanakusa, and chop the rest into small pieces.
3. Lightly wash the cooked Japanese rice if you do not want a gooey texture. Don't wash if you like a thick porridge.

Add toasted Mochi (rice cake) if you like! Mochi goes great with the porridge and fills your stomach ;)
