Abalone porridge, also known as jeolpyeonjuk, is a hearty and nutritious Korean dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is made with abalone, rice, glutinous rice (optional), vegetables, and seasoned with salt, pepper, and sesame oil. Abalone is a rich source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, and it is also known for its health benefits, such as improving fatigue recovery, liver health, and immunity.
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 2 abalone
- 1 cup rice
- 8 cups water
- 0.5 cup glutinous rice (optional)
- 1/3 carrot
- 1/4 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- A small piece of ginger
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Clean the abalone and remove the shell. Slice the abalone thinly.
- Wash the rice and soak it in water for 30 minutes. Drain the water. If using glutinous rice, soak it separately or with the rice and drain the water.
- Slice the carrot, chop the onion, mince the garlic, and thinly slice the ginger.
- Heat the sesame oil in a pot and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the onion and carrot and sauté until softened.
- Add the soaked rice and glutinous rice (if using) and stir-fry for a minute.
- Pour in 8 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add the abalone, salt, and pepper, and simmer for about 1 hour.
- Once the abalone is cooked through, garnish with sesame seeds and serve.
Tips
- Save the abalone guts and clean them thoroughly. Add them to the porridge for a richer flavor and more nutrients.
- Add anchovy sauce, shrimp paste, or kombu to the porridge for extra flavor.
- Stir the porridge frequently while it is cooking to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- You can also make jeolpyeonjuk with cooked rice. Add cooked rice to the pot with a little water, bring to a simmer, and add the abalone, seasonings, and sesame seeds.
