Abalone Porridge

전복죽
jeon-bok-juk

This thick and savory porridge is made by stirring soaked rice in sesame oil, then adding abalone and its innards and simmering them together for a long time, allowing the umami flavor of the abalone and the green hue of the innards to meld. Because it is mildly seasoned, it is often enjoyed with kimchi or jangjorim, making it a recovery dish that is easy on the stomach and serves as a restorative delicacy.
