INGREDIENTS (1 Pax)

  • 4 soup spoons of Jasmine Rice
  • OR Try this rice ratio for 2 to 3 Pax:
    • 1 soup spoon of Glutinous Rice: For porridge's stickiness texture.
    • 2 soup spoons of Jasmine Rice: Gives "volume" to the porridge.
    • 1 soup spoon of Japanese Rice: People tend to mix up Japanese rice with Pearl and Sushi Rice. They're different, but it doesn’t matter. For porridge's shiny and glossy texture.
  • 1 big piece of fresh pork bone (Get your butcher to cut it into half for you).
