Cooking tips 💡

• Soaking the rice for at least 1 hour shortens the cooking time and prevents a risotto-like al dente core.
• If you don't have a blender, finely chop the abalone innards on a cutting board with a knife to evenly release their color and flavor into the porridge.
• Abalone meat becomes tough if overcooked, so add it just before the porridge is done and cook only briefly for a tender texture.
• Stirring an egg yolk into the hot porridge makes it even smoother and richer.
