"Chop, chop chop, chop chop chop"

Step 1: Soak Rice for 30 mins 

• Rinse short-grain rice 2 to 3 times and leave it to soak for 30 minutes
Souper Home Cook Tip: This will soften the rice to shorten the cooking time. You may soak at least 15-20 mins but the boiling of porridge will take slightly longer.
• Set aside. Proceed with preparing the ingredients and Dashi  

Step 2: Prepare Ingredients

• Dice onion, carrot, zucchini, shiitake mushrooms
Souper Home Cook Tip: Use a blender to dice the ingredients to save time!
• Cut Salmon into small chunks
Souper Home Cook Tip: You can use chicken or other fish type depending on preference.

Step 3: Cooking broth with Dashi Pack

• Use 2 Dashi Pack (ft. Umami - Katsuobushi & Daily – Pollack)
Souper Home Cook Tip: You can use any dashi pack of choice
• Add 1200ml water (1 serving = 600ml)
• Boil on medium-high heat for 10 minutes!
• Set the pot of broth aside to proceed with the porridge cooking.
• Remove Dashi Packs
Souper Home Cook Tip: Pre-prepare Dashi stock in advance and store it in the chiller (up to a week). Simply pour to use when needed.  

Step 4: Sauté Vegetable & Rice

• Pour in 2-3 tsp of Sesame Oil over medium-high heat
Souper Home Cook Tip: Sesame oil brings adds additional fragrance to the overall taste of the porridge. You may substitute with olive oil as well.
• Add Onion & sauté till slightly brown and soften
• Add Zucchini, Carrots and Shiitake Mushrooms and continue to sauté for 2 mins
• Drain soaked rice and pour into the pot
• Continue to stir and sauté all the ingredients and rice for 1 min
Souper Home Cook Tip: Remember to stir constantly to prevent any burn. Turn down the fire if needed. By sautéing the ingredients together with oil, it gives the porridge a subtle tinge of aroma that elevates the overall taste.  

Step 5: Pour in Dashi Broth & Boil for 10 mins

• Pour in the Dashi broth once the ingredients are slightly softened and evenly mixed with the rice
• Boil for 10 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent ingredients and rice from sticking at the bottom of the pot 

Step 6: Add in Meat & Season with Souper Garu (Natural Seasoning Powder)

• Add in Salmon Chunks.
• Add ±½ tsp of Haemul Powder and Kelp Powder
Souper Home Cook Tip: Depending on your preference, you may adjust the amount of powder i.e. for more kelp benefits, you may add slightly more into the porridge.
• Grind Himalayan Pink Salt into the porridge (to taste)
Souper Home Cook Tip:
- You may choose to omit adding salt if you are using Anchovy Powder or more Haemul Powder
- You may replace salt with soy sauce
- Unlike regular salt or sea salt, Himalayan Pink Salt contains lower sodium content over other types of salt. Hence, for a more savoury taste, you may wish to add slightly more. The overall taste profile of the pink salt is milder and less sharp.
• Stir evenly and mix well into the porridge
• Boil on medium-low heat for another 5 minutes 

Step 3: Garnish & Serve!

• Garnish with roasted sesame seeds and seaweed slices.
• Enjoy the hearty and nutritious porridge!
