Step 1

Place the rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water. Drain and transfer to a soup pot. Add 12 cups water and the bouillon cubes.

Step 2

Bring to a boil and cook until the rice is soft and broken down to a porridge, about 45 minutes.

Step 3

While the porridge is cooking, in a medium bowl, combine the pork, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

When the rice is porridge-like, take a pinch of pork between your fingers and drop it into the pot, repeating for all of the pork mixture.

Step 5

Add the ginger and cook until the pork “dumplings” are cooked, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Taste, and thin with some water if it seems too thick for your tastes. Season to taste with more salt. Stir in cilantro and scallions

Step 7

Divide the porridge among bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of fried garlic.

Step 8

MAKE FRIED GARLIC: Thinly slice the garlic with a knife. In a large heavy pot, heat 1 inch of oil to 300 F. Add half of the garlic and fry, stirring with a slotted spoon to help the garlic cook evenly. Remove with slotted spoon onto paper towels. Sprinkl with salt while hot. Repeat with remaining garlic. Fried garlic keeps in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks
