  How to clean pork meat, eliminating odors

  • You can use white wine, ginger, salt, lemon, or vinegar, then rub it on the meat and let it sit for about 5 – 10 minutes before rinsing with water.

  Prepare other ingredients

  Shallots bought should be chopped finely. Green onions and coriander should be washed clean and then chopped small.

  Soak the dried mushrooms in a bowl of water for 1 – 2 hours to expand, then take them out and rinse several times with cold water until clean, then let them drain, and cut into small pieces.

  Correct way to soak dried mushrooms

  • You should only soak dried mushrooms for a maximum of 3 – 4 hours before cooking. Avoid soaking dried mushrooms for too long or overnight as it can lead to the production of harmful toxins in the mushrooms, which is detrimental to health.
  • Soak mushrooms in cold water, not warm water, because while mushrooms expand faster in cold water, the morpholine in the mushrooms does not have much time to neutralize.

  Simmer the ribs

  Put a pot on the stove and add the ribs and pork bones, seasoning with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder and 1 teaspoon of salt.

  Add about 1 liter of water to the pot, turn the heat to high, wait for the water to boil, then cover the pot and reduce the heat, simmer the pork ribs for 30 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it cool.

  Tip: You should skim the foam while simmering the ribs to keep the broth clear and tastier, but don’t skim too often to retain the sweetness of the broth.

  Cook porridge

  Take out half of the broth from the pot, then add 200g of rice flour and stir well, adjust the heat to low and continuously stir the porridge until it thickens and bubbles, then season to taste and turn off the heat.

  Tip:

  • You should let the broth cool before adding the rice flour to prevent clumping.
  • During the cooking process, you should frequently stir the porridge to avoid burning at the bottom of the pot.
  • You can adjust the amount of broth in the pot according to the desired thickness of the porridge.
