3 tablespoon sesame oil
soy sauce

Wash rice, soak in water for 30 minutes, drain.

You can use black gall bladder attached to the outside of abalone.
It tastes bitter, so I prefer remove it, but it is very nutritious.

Slice thinly, then cut into very small pieces.

Heat pan, add abalone and sesame oil, sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Add rice, cover with 7 cups of water, stir and make sure nothing sticks to the bottom.

Stirring makes the porridge gummy, so leave as it is until the rice absorbs most of the water.
It will take about an hour to finish the porridge.
Stir if the rice sticks to the bottom.
Add more water if needed until rice loose it's shape and get mush.
