How to cook it
-
Spread the cooked rice thinly and evenly across the bottom of a dry, well-seasoned skillet.
-
Press it flat and cook over medium-low heat, undisturbed, until the bottom turns golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
-
Break the scorched rice into pieces and either eat it as a crunchy snack or return it to the pan.
-
Pour the water over the scorched rice in the pan, add the salt, and simmer 5 minutes until it turns into a light, nutty porridge.
-
Ladle into a bowl and eat hot, the way many Korean grandmothers still start the day.
