Baek Jong-won's Abalone Porridge

Cooking tips 💡

• Avoid using old or frozen abalone as they may have a strong fishy odor; it's recommended to discard the organs and use only the abalone meat.
• To preserve the texture of the rice grains, blend the organs and water first, then add the rice and lightly pulse just enough to combine.
• For a creamier, more Western-style soup-like richness, replace about half the water with milk during cooking.
• Using taste salt—slightly enhanced with MSG—instead of regular salt is essential to replicate the authentic flavor of store-bought abalone porridge.
