How to make Dungeness Crab Rice Porridge with Broccoli and Egg White

01.

Sweat the Vegetables

In a small saucepan over medium heat, sweat the chopped vegetables (broccoli, carrot, onion, scallions, and mushroom) until softened—about 3–4 minutes.

02.

Add the Stock and Rice

Add the chicken stock and cooked rice.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to help the rice break down slightly.

03.

Stir in the Crab and Egg White

Stir in the Dungeness crab meat and gently swirl in the beaten egg white.
Simmer until the egg white is cooked through, about 1–2 minutes.

04.

Finish and Serve

Season with salt to taste.
Transfer to a bowl or lunch container.
Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and a sprinkle of freshly crushed and toasted sesame seeds.
