What to get ready

  • Photograph of Pine nuts Pine nuts 8.5 oz
  • Photograph of Rice Rice 7.1 oz
  • Photograph of Salt Salt 0.3 oz
  • Photograph of Sugar Sugar 1.4 oz
  • Photograph of Dried jujube Dried jujube 1.4 oz

Method

  1. 1 Soak the rice for 2 hours, then drain.
  2. 2 Remove the brown, pointed tip of the pine nut, as that's where the bitterness comes from.
  3. 3 Grind pine nuts with rice and water until a smooth white paste is formed, then strain through a sieve.
  4. 4 Cook over very low heat and stir constantly, as pine nut porridge can easily burn at the bottom.
  5. 5 Cook for 15 minutes until thickened, season lightly with salt, then garnish with shredded jujube.

With an appliance

  • Microwave 35 min

    Replace steps 4 and 5: Stir the rice and pine nut mixture in a large bowl at 600 W for 8 minutes, stirring thoroughly every minute until smooth and creamy. Low power prevents the oily pine nuts from sticking to the bottom.
