Ingredient Selection Tip: Choose fresh shrimp with glossy shells, squid with clear, firm eyes, and straw mushrooms that are still rounded and unopened for the sweetest, most natural flavor.

Start by thoroughly washing all ingredients. Dice the carrot, mince the shallots, and finely chop the scallions and cilantro. Cut the straw mushrooms and squid into bite-sized pieces, and peel the shrimp completely.
Ingredient Preparation
Heat a pan over low heat and roast the rice until golden and aromatic. Transfer the roasted rice to a pot of boiling water and simmer for approximately 30 minutes, until the rice is soft and fully cooked.
Rice Roasting and Simmering
Heat a pan with a small amount of oil and sauté the minced shallots until fragrant. Add the clams, squid, and shrimp, seasoning with 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper (add MSG to taste). Sauté for 5-10 minutes until the seafood is cooked and infused with flavor.
Seafood Sautéing
After 30 minutes of simmering, add the diced carrot and straw mushrooms to the porridge and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Then, incorporate the sautéed seafood, seasoning with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and adjusting other seasonings to taste.
Porridge and Vegetable Cooking
Once the porridge is boiling and all ingredients are cooked, remove from heat and serve in bowls. Garnish with chopped scallions and a sprinkle of pepper for a visually stunning and aromatic dish.
