Preparation

  • Clean the beef tripe thoroughly under running water. Pre-boil the cleaned tripe for about ten minutes, then drain, rinse, and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking the Rice Porridge

  • Sauté minced garlic and chopped onions in a large pot until fragrant.
  • Add the ginger and uncooked rice, stirring for a couple of minutes.
  • Pour in the beef broth or water, bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low.
  • Cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add hot water if needed to keep the desired consistency.

Seasoning

  • When the porridge is ready, taste and adjust seasoning with more ginger, if preferred.

Serving

  • Serve hot in wide bowls, allowing guests to add their desired toppings.

Notes

Feel free to customize toppings according to your preference. Leftover roast beef can be used as a substitute for tripe for a different flavor. This dish freezes well; reheat with a splash of water.
