Preparation

edit

The porridge is made with white rice and pine nuts, which are separately soaked, ground, and sieved. The ground rice is then boiled, with ground pine nuts added a little at a time while simmering.[6] Grinding the ingredients together causes them to separate after boiling.[6] The porridge is seasoned with salt and often garnished with whole or crushed pine nuts.[6]
