How to Make Pork Liver and Minced Pork Porridge

Pork liver and minced pork porridge is a comforting, nutrient-rich dish, perfect for breakfast or a light meal. Here’s a simple guide to making it.

Ingredients: 150g pork liver (cleaned and sliced thinly), 100g minced pork, 1 cup rice, 5 cups water, ginger (sliced), scallions (chopped), salt, white pepper, and a dash of sesame oil.

Steps:

1. Prep the liver: Soak pork liver in milk or water for 15 minutes to remove bitterness. Pat dry, then marinate with a pinch of salt, pepper, and cornstarch for 10 minutes.

2. Cook the porridge: Rinse rice, add to a pot with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until thick and creamy.

3. Add meat: Stir in minced pork, cook for 5 minutes until no longer pink. Add pork liver, cook for 2–3 more minutes (do not overcook to keep it tender).

4. Season: Add salt, white pepper, and ginger. Turn off heat, garnish with scallions and a drizzle of sesame oil.

Tips: For extra flavor, use broth instead of water. Adjust thickness by adding more water or rice. Serve hot with pickles or dough fritters. This porridge is hearty, easy to digest, and packed with protein and iron—ideal for all ages!
