Recipe

Pour 3 cups of water into a pot, turn on the heat, then add 1 bowl of rice and mash it thoroughly to break up clumps.
Stir constantly over high heat to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
While the porridge is boiling, finely chop 20g of carrot and lightly crush 1/2 teaspoon of sesame seeds in a mortar to make a coarse powder.
Once the broth begins to bubble, reduce the heat to medium and slowly stir to help the rice grains soften and spread out.
When the rice has become soft and fully broken down, add the chopped carrot to enhance color and texture.
Crack 1 egg directly into the pot and let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds before gently stirring with a chopstick to slightly break it up.
Add a small amount of soy sauce and salt to taste, then bring to a boil one more time before turning off the heat.
Transfer the porridge to a bowl, drizzle with the prepared sesame powder and 2–3 drops of sesame oil, then mix lightly to finish.

Add water and rice to a pot, mash well, and boil over high heat. Meanwhile, chop the carrot and crush the sesame seeds.
Reduce heat to medium, stir to distribute the rice, then add the chopped carrot and crack in the egg, gently breaking it up.
Season with soy sauce and salt, then finish by adding sesame oil and sesame powder.

Cooking tips

Adding the egg directly into the boiling porridge without pre-cracking it into a separate bowl reduces cleanup—perfect for busy mornings.
Avoid vigorous stirring right after adding the egg, as this can cloud the broth and make it bitter; instead, let it cook for about 30 seconds before gently breaking it up.
Crushing the sesame seeds slightly into a powder releases a much richer, more aromatic flavor compared to using them whole.
Use soy sauce sparingly—too much will darken the porridge’s color. Rely on a light touch of soy sauce and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
