Kim Dae-seok's Sweet Pumpkin Porridge

A traditional pumpkin porridge carefully simmered with the satisfying chewiness of coarsely ground glutinous rice and a fragrant, non-exploding red bean topping.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding a pinch of salt while boiling red beans helps prevent them from bursting and keeps their shape intact.
  • Avoid grinding glutinous rice too finely—coarse, slightly chunky particles are essential for the desired chewy texture.
  • Do not mix salt and sugar into the entire batch ahead of time, as this can cause the porridge to spoil and thin out quickly; always season individual servings just before eating.

Recommended for

  • Elderly people and children who enjoy soft, sweet pumpkin porridge.
  • Those looking to make a rich, thick, traditional pumpkin porridge that pairs well with dongchimi (fermented radish water).
  • People curious about the proper storage method for pumpkin porridge that stays thick and doesn't spoil easily over time.
