How to Make Porridge from Chung Cake
Step 1: Prepare the Chung Cake
First, peel and cut the leftover Chung Cakes from Tet into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Prepare the Cooking Water
In a pot, add about 600ml of water and place it on the stove. Add approximately half of the cut-up Chung Cake to the pot.
Step 3: Cook the Chung Cake
Gently press and cook the Chung Cake for about 10-15 minutes, then start skimming off the foam. The cake will soften and begin to break down. Use a spoon to stir and mash the cake, creating a thick porridge-like consistency. Skim the foam and mash the cake for a tastier porridge.

Note: Adjust the seasoning to your taste with pepper, seasoning powder, and fish sauce.
– If you prefer a chunky porridge, you can leave the cake as is. If you like a smoother texture, use a tool to puree it.
