How to make jeonbokjuk.
The full recipe is on my website: http://www.maangchi.com/recipes/jeonbokjuk

Makes 2-3 servings.
Ingredients:
2 small size abalones (1 cup worth), 1 cup of rice, 7 cups of water, 2 tbs sesame oil, 1 ts salt, 1tbsfish sauce, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 green onions, ¼ cup of chopped carrot, and 1 sheet of roastedlaver.
Directions:
1. Wash 1 cup of rice and soak it in cold water for 2 hours. Drain it through a strainer.
2. Clean up the abalones using a brush in cold running water. Chop it up and put it on a plate.
3. Chop some carrot (about ¼ cup), 2 green onions, and put it on the plate.

4. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and put it on the plate.
5. Heat a large pot over medium high heat. Add 2 tbs sesame oil.
6. Add the minced garlic, abalone, and chopped carrot to the pot. Stir it for 30 seconds.
7. Add the soaked rice to the pot. Keep stirring for a few minutes until the grains of rice look half translucent.
8. Pour 7 cups of water into the pot and lower the heat to low heat. Close the lid and cook it for about 30 minutes.*tip: Every now and then open the lid and stir the porridge so the rice doesn't burn on the bottom the pot
9. Open the lid of the pot and add 1 tbs fish sauce and 1 ts salt (the amount depends on your taste).
10. Roast a sheet of laver and put it in a plastic bag. Crush it by rubbing the plastic bag.
11. To serve, ladle the porridge into a bowl and sprinkle the crushed roasted laver and chopped green onion over top.

  • i made it just now, but instead of abalone i used minced pork which also mix with shrimp and fish

    but still nice and delicious !!!! thx maangchi =D

  • @idunnodunno100 yes, yours sounds delicious!

  • im 14 and i made this porridge but with clams. it came out AMAZING and so did everyone in the family. my mom told everyone she made it and they all believed her and they were like "hmm? this is sooo good i want you to make this for me everyday!!". if a 14 year old can make it, you can definitely make it. SO good and SO easy! thank you maangchi ahjumma <3

  • @wxylovealot121 wow, you love cooking!

  • i've caught the cold (like everyone else around me), and was thinking of my childhood and how my mom would cook me jeonbokjuk on sick days. porridge is best for times when your body's aching and every muscle and joint movement hurts -- you can just slurp it down!

    thank you maangchi! time for me to teach myself this dish.
