i just made this! its very very yummy!!
me and my mom both have a cold so i made it to make us feel a bit better!
my mom really liked it too!! thanks so much for the recipe!
Cam,
Thank you for letting me know your successful shrimp porridge making! Now you can make many different kinds of porridge.
Grace,
I would not replace fish sauce with salty shrimp sauce. The reason I use fish sauce is to give some flavor like Korean fermented soy sauce for soup. But if you want to use saewoojeot (salty shrimp sauce), who would interrupt it. : )
Lola,
Please follow the recipe. Some people may use leftover rice to make porridge, but I don’t. More effort, more delicious!
Maangchi,
I was wondering if I could use already cooked white rice? If so, how would I adjust the amount of water? Thanks, I love your blog!
Hi Maangchi, wondering if you can substitute the fish sauce with saewoo jut and if so, would it be the same amount (1 tbsp)? would that change the taste dramatically?
Maangchi!
I made this last night (w/ shrimps)after I got back from a late class and TKD. So delicious! It really warmed me up after comming in from the crazy cold.
thanks for another great recipe!
Libelle,
Let me know how your jeonbokjuk turns out! thanks,
gabieolie,
yes, you can make tuna porridge called “chamchijuk”:참치죽 in Korean. When you use a can of tuna, make the porridge as you normally would and then add the can of tuna at the end. You don’t have to soak rice to make porridge, but it will take longer for the rice grains to be cooked well. And the amount of water will be changed, too. I hope your daughter gets better after eating the tuna porridge that you make!
Hi Maangchi,
My daughter is sick and I would like to make this porridge. What is the minimum amount of time I should soak the rice? Also, can I use a can of tuna? No time for me to go to the Korean market right now :) Thank you!
Maangchi ssi, annyeong!
A porridge recipe! Woohoo! hahaha I’ve been waiting, patiently, for another porridge recipe and there it is! It looks delicious and I look forward to making it for my husband. Kamsahamnida, precious Maangchi!
Anonymouse,
Thank you very much! I have a few close friends helping me make my videos.
Maangchi, after watching soooo many videos, I have only just realized that we never see your camera person. Who is the wonderful person who helps you so much? They deserve many thanks, just as you do!
josh,
I already posted it on this page. I’m copying it and pasting it here for you.
“..You can replace abalone in this recipe with mussels, clams, shrimp, or even ground beef..”
Are there other subsitutes for Abalone?
Missed your videos! I have never had abalone so I am eager to try this recipe. Will have to wait until I can get some abalone. If I can’t get it here I will wait until our next trip to H Mart in NY.
annie,
Yes, I saw frozen abalone in the frozen section at Han Arueu on 32nd St. Thank you!
maangchi! this looks SO delicious and would probably keep me warm in the cold nyc weather. :) welcome back and i’m so happy to see this recipe. do you think i can buy abalone from han areum on 32nd street? i don’t think i’ve seen it there before.
ps: YUM!!!
