Method

Make the plain rice porridge. See end of preceding recipe for cooking-in-advance instructions.

March-chop the ground beef a few times to loosen its formation; add the marinade and mix well. You may do this long in advance; cover and refrigerate the meat and bring it out just before the final cooking.
