Recorded cooking sequence

  1. Cut the dried pollack and bring it to a boil with perilla oil and the first 100 ml water.
  2. When the broth turns cloudy, add broth powder, cooked rice, and the additional 400 ml water.
  3. Cook over medium-high heat until the rice loosens into the broth.
  4. Season, reduce to medium-low heat as the liquid reduces, and add chopped green onion.
  5. Pour in the beaten eggs and leave briefly without immediate stirring. Mix once they set and finish with pepper and crushed sesame seeds.

What makes this method different

The recipe starts with cooked rice, not dry rice. That distinction explains its short preparation style and prevents the two water additions from being mistaken for a raw-rice cooking ratio. The egg is poured into the porridge late and left to set before mixing; the source says immediate stirring changes how the egg absorbs the broth.

Measurements and recipe scope

The tuna-seasoning unit and the weights of the rice and dried pollack are missing. Treat this as a source-based method guide rather than a fully weighed formula. Medical recovery and treatment claims from the surrounding original story are not adopted as advice.
