Recipe

Warm the leftover rice in the microwave for about 3 minutes until soft.
Moisten the bottom of the jjolbaegi with about half a tablespoon of water to prevent the rice from sticking, then add the warmed rice.
Dip a spoon in water and press the rice evenly and thinly across the entire bottom of the pot.
Sprinkle a small amount of salt over the rice to enhance the savory flavor.
Wet the spoon again slightly and press down evenly to help the salt dissolve into the rice.
Turn on the gas stove to the lowest heat and cook uncovered for about 35 minutes, slowly toasting the rice until golden brown.
Pour an appropriate amount of mineral water over the golden-brown nureongji and bring to a boil over high heat.
Once the broth starts boiling, reduce the heat and scrape the bottom with a spoon to mix the toasted rice into the broth, completing the savory nureongji soup.

Spread the warmed leftover rice thinly in the jjolbaegi and sprinkle a pinch of salt.
Cook over the lowest heat for about 35 minutes until golden and crisp.
Add water and bring to a rolling boil, scraping the bottom to release the toasted rice and finish the hot water tea.

Cooking tips

The fire should be kept at the absolute minimum setting, as even a slight increase can cause burning.
Adding just a pinch of salt enhances the savory depth rather than making it salty.
If you don’t have a jjolbaegi, you can use a non-stick frying pan or skillet instead.
