Sung Anh's Guangdong-Style Shrimp Rice Porridge

Cooking tips 💡

• Removing the intestinal tract (digestive organ) along the shrimp’s back ensures a clean, smooth taste without gritty residue.
• Lard oil has a lower smoke point than vegetable oil, so avoid overheating or prolonged high heat to prevent burning.
• Any remaining moisture in the soaked rice can cause dangerous splattering when added to hot oil at 220 degrees, so dry the rice completely with kitchen towels before frying.
• Shrimp meat should not be cooked too long, or it will become tough; add it just before the broth finishes or right before serving to preserve its tender, bouncy texture.
