Steps to cook Northern-style rib porridge
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

- Clean and finely chop the scallions.
- Peel and finely chop the dried onions.
- You can buy cartilage ribs or loin ribs, clean them thoroughly to remove dirt and bone fragments attached to the rib surface.
- You can follow this recipe for cooking cartilage rib porridge.
Step 2: Marinate and stir-fry the ribs
- Marinate the ribs with 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Sauté the finely chopped onions until fragrant, then add the ribs to stir-fry with 1 tablespoon of salt, 1/2 tablespoon of fish sauce, and a little pepper. Stir-fry the ribs for about 3-5 minutes to let them absorb the flavors, then turn off the heat.
Step 3: Grind the rice
- After soaking the rice, drain the water and put it in the blender. Remember not to overload the blender; add 1-2 tablespoons of rice at a time and a little water to achieve a smoother consistency. Repeat this process until all the prepared rice is used.

Use this method, also known as the bone powder porridge cooking technique, to create a unique Northern-style bone porridge.
Step 4: Cooking Northern-style Bone Porridge
- Put the ground rice and mung beans into a pot, then add the ribs and enough water to cover the rice by at least one finger. During cooking, you can add more water to prevent the porridge from becoming too thick. Cooking with an electric rice cooker or a pressure cooker will result in a smoother texture and save time. If using a gas stove/induction cooker, carefully regulate the heat to avoid burning or overflowing. Reduce the heat once the porridge boils and simmer gently until it becomes soft. Stir regularly. The bone porridge will be tender after simmering for about 60 minutes. Season to taste.
Step 5: Presentation and Enjoyment
- Transfer the porridge to a bowl, optionally decorate the surface with 2-3 pieces of ribs, sprinkle a bit of pepper, and swirl for a more visually appealing dish.
