Method:

1. Marinate minced pork with soy sauce, sesame oil and pepper. Set aside at least 30 minutes.

2. Wash rice and boil in water for 30-45 minutes. The rice grains should expand and split a little, but still retain the shapeof the grain. The water should be starchy. Add water if the porridge is too sticky and looks clumpy. It should pour out of a ladle when you tilt it.

3. Using a spoon, scoop out pork to make small balls, and stir into the porridge. Cook porridge in medium flame for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning, until the meat is cooked.

4. For garnish, heat oil in a pan till hot, then reduce the flame and put in the shallots to fry till golden brown. Then panfry anchovies similarly heat, till they are golden brown.

5. To assemble porridge, scoop porridge into serving bowls. For each serving, add about a tablespoon or two of the anchovies, and one tablespoon of the fried shallots. You may garnish additionally with coriander, sesame oil and pepper.
