Ingredients- 2 medium-sized abalones
- 1 1/2 cups glutinous rice, soaked
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil
- Over 500cc water (adjust to your preference)
- Pinch of salt (for seasoning)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare two medium-sized fresh abalones. Thoroughly scrub the abalones, including between the shell and the meat, using a toothbrush. Separate the abalone meat from the shell and remove the hard mouthparts. Set aside the abalone innards and blend them into a smooth paste using a blender. Chop the abalone meat into bite-sized pieces. Now, place a pot over low heat and add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Once the sesame oil is warm, add the chopped abalone meat and the blended innards. Stir and sauté them together, being careful not to burn, until fragrant. This step enhances the abalone’s rich flavor.
Step 2
While the abalone is sautéing, have your pre-soaked glutinous rice ready (1 1/2 cups). Add the soaked glutinous rice to the pot with the sautéed abalone and stir-fry until the surface of the rice grains becomes slightly translucent. Once the rice grains start to turn translucent, pour in over 500cc of water. It’s best to adjust the water amount as you cook rather than sticking to a precise measurement initially, depending on the rice’s condition and your desired porridge consistency.
Step 3
Don’t worry about adhering strictly to the 500cc water measurement. You can adjust the water volume based on the amount of rice, whether it was fully soaked, or if you simply prefer a thinner porridge. Observe how the rice cooks and add more water gradually until you achieve your desired consistency. This flexibility is part of the charm of homemade porridge.
Step 4
While the porridge is cooking, it’s crucial to stir constantly to prevent the glutinous rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Continue stirring diligently until the rice grains break down and soften, forming a smooth porridge. Keep stirring patiently until the rice is fully cooked and the porridge reaches its desired texture. Your delicious and savory abalone innards porridge will be ready with a little effort.
Step 5
Once the glutinous rice has softened and the porridge has thickened, it’s time for the final seasoning. Add salt gradually to taste. Adjust the saltiness according to your preference. With the seasoning perfected, your energy-boosting abalone innards porridge is complete! Serve hot and enjoy this nourishing meal.
