Cooking tips 💡

• For abalone porridge, using large abalone, which are more vigorous and nutrient-rich, is much better in terms of both flavor and nutrition.
• If you boil whole rice grains, they may become too mushy or remain separate, so lightly breaking them into about 2 pieces in a blender ensures a smooth porridge texture.
• While a regular pot requires constant stirring to prevent sticking, using a pressure cooker allows the rice grains to fully bloom in just 3 minutes, making it very easy to complete.
• Adding shiitake mushrooms to abalone porridge creates a synergy effect, as the mushroom's unique savory flavor harmonizes with the abalone broth.
