# Wash 1 cup of rice and soak it in cold water for 2 hours. Drain it through a strainer.

# Chop some carrot (about 1/4 cup), 2 green onions, and put it on the plate.
# Mince 2 cloves of garlic and put it on the plate.
# Heat a large pot over medium high heat. Add 2 tbs sesame oil.
# Add the minced garlic, abalone, and chopped carrot to the pot. Stir it for 30 seconds.
# Add the soaked rice to the pot. Keep stirring for a few minutes until the grains of rice look half translucent.
# Pour 7 cups of water into the pot and lower the heat to low heat. Close the lid and cook it for about 30 minutes.
*tip: Every now and then open the lid and stir the porridge so the rice doesn’t burn on the bottom the pot.
# Open the lid of the pot and add 1 tbs fish sauce and 1 ts salt (the amount depends on your taste).
# Roast a sheet of laver and put it in a plastic bag. Crush it by rubbing the plastic bag.
