- To make the porridge, rinse the rice with cool water till the rinse water runs clear. Drain. Put the rice in a large saucepan and stir in the salt and oil. Add in the water and chicken stock. Bring to a boil over high heat and stir the rice to loosen the grains from the bottom of the pan. Set the cover ajar and boil gently for 5 min. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, till the rice is soft and is the consistency of porridge, about 1 1/2 hrs. Keep hot.
- To prepare the fish topping, wrap the fish in plastic wrap and place in the freezer to freeze partially, about 1 hour. Cut the fish into thin slivers and arrange on a serving plate. In a bowl, mix together the ginger, soy sauce, pepper and sesame oil; pour over the fish. Sprinkle the green onion and cilantro over the top.
- To serve, ladle the warm porridge into warmed soup bowls. To eat, pick up a few slices of fish, onions and cilantro and set them on top of each serving of porridge. Serve warm.
- This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
