How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh purple sweet potatoes
- Choose sweet potatoes that are round or elongated in shape, without any constrictions or dents. The skin should not be heavily scratched and should still cling to some soil.
- Good quality, sweet purple sweet potatoes should feel firm but not too hard or too soft when you hold them. If you cut a thin piece from the end, you should see a little sap oozing out.
- Avoid choosing tubers that are dented, have dark spots on the skin, or are too large, as these are usually old, fibrous, and bitter.
How to choose fresh and delicious butter mushrooms
- Fresh and delicious butter mushrooms typically have a short stem and a uniformly round cap.
- You should choose butter mushrooms that feel firm when you hold them, with caps that are not overly expanded. They should have a light, distinctive fragrance when smelled.
- Avoid choosing butter mushrooms with large, open caps, stems that are off-white or have bruises, as these are usually mushrooms that have been stored for a long time, and they tend to be less sweet.
How to choose fresh and delicious pork ribs
- To select fresh and delicious pork ribs, you should choose the tender ribs that have a light pinkish-red color. When you gently press the meat with your hand, it should have some elasticity and feel slightly sticky.
- You should choose pork ribs with moderately thin and flat bones, as this means the ribs will have more meat.
- Avoid choosing pork ribs that are pale in color, have a slimy texture, or an unusual smell, as this indicates the meat has been stored for too long or is spoiled, and it will not taste sweet and can easily cause food poisoning.

Prepare Ingredients
Put 1/2 cup of rice into a bowl, add water to cover the rice, and soak for about 15 minutes. Then rinse the rice with water twice and drain.
Wash the pork ribs clean, then blanch them briefly in boiling water to remove any unpleasant odor. Peel the purple sweet potato with a knife, rinse it clean with water, and then dice it.
For the enoki mushrooms, remove the outer skin, cut off the stems, then soak them in diluted saltwater for 5 – 7 minutes. Rinse the enoki mushrooms with clean water and slice them thinly lengthwise.
Peel the shallots and green onions, wash them thoroughly, and drain. Slice the shallots thinly and chop the green onions, then put them into 2 bowls.
Effective Ways to Remove the Smell of Pork Ribs- Method 1: To remove the smell from pork ribs, you can use coarse salt diluted with water and soak the ribs for about 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water and drain before cooking.
- Method 2: Another way to eliminate the smell of pork ribs is to blanch the ribs in boiling water for about 3 – 5 minutes, then remove them before starting to cook.

Cook the porridge
Prepare a pot for cooking porridge, place the pot on the stove and turn the heat to medium, add the sliced shallots and 1/2 tablespoon of oil to sauté the shallots until fragrant. Then add the pork ribs and stir for about 2 minutes before adding the rinsed rice to the pot.
Season the porridge with 2 teaspoons of seasoning powder, 1/2 tablespoon of salt, and stir until the seasoning is dissolved. Then add about 1 liter of water to the pot and cook until the porridge boils, then add the diced purple sweet potato.
Continue to cook the porridge on the stove for about 20 – 30 minutes over medium heat until the rice expands. Every 5 – 7 minutes, use a ladle to stir the porridge to prevent it from burning at the bottom.
Tip: When the porridge boils, you should regularly skim off the foam that rises to make the porridge clearer and more appealing.
