This is simply described on the menu as ‘Mushroom, house-made chilli crisps ($12) (V/GF/DF)’, but it is sooo much more.
It is perfection itself. I would have happily paid double for this at a restaurant.
This delectable Korean rice porridge had enoki mushrooms, just a little coriander, black and white sesame seeds, a generous topping of chilli oil with chilli crisp, some green onion, and braised white mushrooms.
The short-grain rice was buttery soft and just melted in your mouth with the perfect consistency. The chilli crisp tasted home-made and even had cardamom in it, which was a very pleasant surprised that worked amazingly to add intrigue here and there. This was one of the most delicious, lip-smacking rice porridges I’ve ever had in my life even after living in Korea for a year. Salty, savoury, umami, rich yet light on the stomach, and spicy. I couldn’t get enough of this. I could have licked the bowl clean if social convention allowed! Afterwards I stormed through to the back kitchen and praised the cook thoroughly because she needed to know 👏👏👏 5/5 across the board.
