Ingredients

• 1 cup Jasmine rice
• 6 cups Water
• 300 grams Minced pork
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
• 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
• 2 stalks Scallions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 piece Egg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and 6 cups of water in a large pot and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 25 minutes until the rice has broken down and the porridge has thickened.

Step 3

While the rice simmers, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the minced pork to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, ground white pepper, and chili flakes, and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Drizzle with sesame oil and remove from heat.

Step 6

Once the porridge is ready, divide it into bowls. Top each bowl with a generous scoop of the spicy minced pork mixture.

Step 7

Sprinkle chopped scallions and cilantro over the porridge for garnish. If desired, crack a raw egg into the hot porridge and stir to cook the egg lightly with residual heat.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Minced Pork Rice Porridge!
