Kim Dae-seok's Aged Pumpkin Porridge

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Adding a small amount of ginger juice helps mellow the natural bitterness of pumpkin, red beans, and chestnuts, enhancing the overall depth and elegance of the porridge.
• Do not blend the glutinous rice too finely—just 15 seconds in the blender to keep it slightly grainy—for a smooth yet pleasantly chewy texture when eating.
• Aged pumpkin has strong fibers, so blending it once in a blender is better than pounding with a mallet; this ensures a lump-free, silky porridge.
• Only add salt and sugar to the portion you plan to eat immediately. If storing for the next day, avoid pre-seasoning, as the porridge will become watery and sour over time—season right before serving.
