Century Egg Porridge: A Savory and Comforting Dish
Century egg porridge is a classic Cantonese dish that is both savory and comforting. It is made with rice, pork, century eggs, and ginger, and is often served as a breakfast or light meal.
To make century egg porridge, first marinate the pork in soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, white pepper, and cornstarch. Then, rinse the rice and combine it with water and oil in a large pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, or until the rice is soft and porridge-like.
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the marinated pork and century eggs. Season with salt to taste and serve hot with additional green onions and chopped century eggs, if desired.
