Anchovies Rice Porridge

I had this anchovies rice porridge while I was small, and a lot about half- a year ago when I was pretty sick. A lot of Chinese parents give it to little kids, and sick people. Anchovies have a lot of nutrients, especially calcium. Half a year ago, my grandmother first made it for me, but my dad started making them for me, with other versions of it.
