Gingery Rice Porridge

I can’t think of a tastier way of using leftover rice than to add it to this thick soup. Many Japanese enjoy ozosui when they’re down with a cold or upset stomach from overeating; it’s that final touch of ginger that both opens up nasal passages and aids in digestion. But there’s no need to wait until you’ve caught a chill before trying this marvelous soup-that’s-a-meal.
