Spare rib porridge is made of two main ingredients: white rice and spare ribs. The ribs are first stewed for one hour. The cook then takes them out, put the rice in the broth and cook until it turns into porridge. 

Next, the ribs are deboned before being put back into the porridge pot. A perfect bowl of spare rib porridge is the combination between the sweetness of the broth, thanks to ribs stewed for hours, and the tenderness of the pork and porridge. Enjoy it, and see if you can feel the same as what I mention above.

Nevertheless, spare rib porridge would not have perfect scent without several seasonings such as pepper and ginger. Spring onion and “quay” are also indispensable ingredients.  Vietnamese people frequently add “quay”, which have been cut into pieces, into spare rib porridge before enjoy the dish. Others might add salted shredded meat or oily hot pepper paste.
