Kimmy, this porridge makes for a very filling meal. I would skip the dried scallops since I find the smell too strong for me. Perhaps dried scallops would be very nice too.
ReplyDeleteHi Phong Hong, sure its nice with dried scallops, there is a unique kind of sweetness from it. I wanted to buy some dried scallops when I was in Xiamen but totally forgotten about it until I read this recipe.
