Step 1: Boiling the rice (Turn cooked rice into delicious rice porridge)
- Prepare the boiling water: Place a pot over medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Add cooked rice: Once the water is boiling, add the remaining cooked rice. Tip: Avoid stirring frequently at first, as this can cause the rice to become mushy and cloudy.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 20-30 minutes, until the rice grains begin to soften and expand, forming the desired thickness of rice porridge.
- Seasoning: Add a pinch of salt (about 1/2 teaspoon). Season to taste lightly and well-balanced. It doesn't need to be too salty, as we'll be eating it with the already salty salted fish. Stir well, then turn off the heat and set aside.
Step 2: Frying the salted fish for a crispy, fragrant texture - Prepare the fish: If the salted fish is too salty, soak it in water for a few minutes to reduce the saltiness. Then, pat dry.
- Frying: Heat a pan with enough vegetable oil to slightly cover the fish over low heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salted fish and fry.
- Tip for crispiness: Fry until the fish is golden brown on both sides. and a mouth-watering aroma.
- Drain Oil: Once the fish is cooked through, remove it from the oil and drain on paper towels. Arrange on a plate.
Step 3: Ready to Serve - Serve the Rice Porridge: Scoop hot rice porridge into serving bowls.
