King of Porridge

If you have travelled to Jeju Island, you wouldn’t have missed “Jeonbokjuk” – Abalone Porridge.

Known to Koreans as King of Porridge for its flavourful clean taste of ocean sweetness.

On top of Abalone, I have included Hokkaido Scallops. These precious ocean gem for its meatiness and amazing flavour.

Rinse uncooked rice a few times.

Soak rice with some sea salt and a teaspoon of cooking oil for about an hour prior to cooking.

In a sauce pot, add  water  and bring the rice to boil over medium low fire until it turned in porridge.

The duration of cooking the porridge would vary depending on the preferred texture.

Scoop the white porridge into a new pot and add chicken broth and bring to a boil.

Add sliced Abalone and Scallops and cooked to its doneness.

Garnished with toasted black sesame for added flavour.
