Bubor Udang

Traditionally consumed at the end of a popiah party using leftover gravy to cook with porridge, the Bubor Udang is a dish with Chinese origins despite its Malay name. The Rice porridge is cooked with prawns and bean curd, garnished with fried garlic, making it a favourite amongst the Peranakans. This recipe is developed by Sylvia Tan, bestselling cookbook author & veteran in the local food scene using Kinmemai Japanese rice.

Number of servings: 6 to 8 people
