Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1/2 cup jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice with 3 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Step 2: Reduce heat to low and simmer the rice, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes until the grains start to break down and the mixture thickens.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of julienned fresh ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Continue simmering for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the porridge reaches a creamy consistency.
  4. Step 4: Season with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper, stirring well.
  5. Step 5: Serve hot, garnished with 2 thinly sliced scallions and 2 tablespoons of fried shallots for texture and flavor contrast.
