Nurungji and Egg Porridge Ingredients
- 1/2 bag Nurungji (toasted rice crust)
- 1L Water
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Tbsp Yeondu (Korean soy sauce alternative) or light soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp Chicken stock
- A little chopped green onion
- 2 Tbsp Sesame oil
- A little sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Place half a bag of Nurungji (toasted rice crust) into a pot. This is the star ingredient for our savory porridge.
Step 2
Add 1 liter of water to the pot. The ideal ratio is about 1 part Nurungji to 3 parts water. Ensure the Nurungji is fully submerged.
Step 3
Cover the pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Cooking with the lid on helps the water boil faster, softening the Nurungji more quickly and reducing cooking time. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low.
Step 4
Let the Nurungji simmer and soften until it starts to break down and thicken the water. Stir occasionally with a spoon to prevent sticking.
Step 5
While the Nurungji is cooking, crack two eggs into a separate bowl. Whisk them gently until the yolks and whites are combined. You don’t need to overbeat them.
Step 6
Stir in 2 tablespoons of Yeondu (a savory Korean seasoning) or light soy sauce to season the porridge. Yeondu adds a subtle depth of flavor. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 7
Add 2 tablespoons of chicken stock for an extra boost of savory flavor. You can also use anchovy or vegetable broth if preferred.
Step 8
Add a small amount of finely chopped green onion and simmer for another minute or two. This finishes the delicious Nurungji and Egg Porridge, adding a fresh aroma.
Step 9
Ladle the hot porridge into individual serving bowls. It’s best enjoyed immediately while warm.
Step 10
Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and sprinkle with a little sesame seeds for a rich, nutty finish. These final touches elevate the taste and aroma.
Step 11
There you have it! A wonderfully savory and hearty Nurungji and Egg Porridge, made incredibly simple. Enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal with this easy recipe!
