Baek Jong-won's Chestnut Porridge

Cooking tips 💡

• Chestnuts have a high starch content, so the porridge will naturally thicken without the need for added rice or rice flour.
• Controlling the heat and stirring are key. The starch can easily burn the bottom of the pot, so simmer over medium-low heat while stirring constantly.
• If you prefer a heartier or thicker porridge, you can blend in some leftover cooked rice or add rice flour mixed with water.
• Adding just a pinch of salt, without sugar, will significantly deepen the natural sweetness inherent in the chestnuts.
