Recipe background:
I love the spicy rice porridge from my favorite izakaya. When I asked the chef, he said adding gochujang makes it delicious! I’m sure the original has more ingredients, but I made a simple version with what I had at home.

Steps

1

Slice the green onion in half lengthwise, then cut into thin diagonal slices. Beat the egg in a bowl. If the rice is cold, warm it up.
2

Pour the water into a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the green onion, dashi granules, and dissolve the gochujang into the water.
3

Add the rice and simmer for about 5 minutes. When the mixture thickens slightly, slowly pour in the beaten egg. Cook until the egg reaches your desired doneness.
4

If you like, top with chopped scallions or nori (seaweed).
