Bubur Manado

Indonesia · Southeast Asia

Short description: This vegetable-heavy rice porridge is soft, herbaceous, and often finished with fish and a sharp relish.
Ingredients: Rice, pumpkin, corn, leafy greens, basil, lemongrass, fried shallots, salted or smoked fish, and chile relish.
Cultural note: It is associated with morning markets and home cooking where the porridge can carry many garden vegetables in one bowl.
Common misconception: It is not a plain breakfast gruel; the vegetables, herbs, and savory side toppings are central to the dish.
