How to make salty bone porridge

1. Wash the spine and add more salt (I added 3 teaspoons). Don’t be afraid of adding too much salt because you want to marinate the saltiness into the food. You don’t need to add salt when cooking. Add shredded ginger and wine, mix well and place in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.

2. Abalone and clams (dried clams), I also put them into the porridge this time to enhance the flavor, but it turns out that dried scallops are more suitable because they don’t have the fishy smell of these two dried goods.

3. Cooking porridge: Generally, choose Northeastern rice + a little (just a little) glutinous rice (this will make the soup thicker). Wash it, drain the water, add cooking oil, mix well and let it sit for 1 hour. When you turn on the fire to cook the porridge, add an appropriate amount of water. After the water boils for more than ten minutes, add the blanched salted bones (you don’t have to blanch them to keep the original flavor, but I personally don’t like the blood foam of the meat, so I occasionally choose to blanch them), fresh shredded ginger, and dried scallops. Continue to simmer for more than ten minutes, then turn off the heat and simmer in the slow cooker overnight. You will have delicious salted bone porridge the next morning.

Cooking Tips

1. Usually when I get up in the morning, I will continue to add some sesame oil to cook the porridge on the stove so that it tastes better when it is hot.

2. In authentic Cantonese porridge, you can’t see individual grains of rice, so you have to cook it slowly and carefully!
