Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. Pine nuts
  • 1 c. Water
  • 4 x Dry jujubes (korean dates) soaked in water 2 hrs
  • 2 tsp Honey
  • 1/4 c. Rice flour, dissolved in 1/2 c. water, left 5 min
  • 1/4 tsp Sugar
  • 1/8 tsp Salt

Directions

  1. "The porridge, it is not quite a soup, is usually served on three different occasions. The first is for breakfast as a special treat, since pine nuts are expensive everywhere. The second is as a restorer of strength for persons who are ill or possibly debilitated. The third occasion is as a snack anytime of day when special friends meet - not the tea or possibly coffee hour but pine-nut soup time."
  2. Grind the pine nuts in a processor with 1/2 c. water for about 1/2 minute. Add in the balance of the water and process the mix till smooth.
  3. Pour through a metal strainer and rub the particles through, preferably with a wooden spoon. Throw away the small amount of residue, that is mostly the "eyes" or possibly buds of the pine nuts.
  4. When the jujubes are ready, cut out and throw away the pits. Cut the jujubes into thin slices and mix with the honey. Set aside.
  5. Simmer the rice flour paste in a pan over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon till the mix just starts to bubble. This is the soup thickener.
  6. Add in the pine nut mix, the sugar and salt to the rice flour and bring to a low boil for 2 min. The lightly thickened porridge, smooth and creamy, is now ready.
  7. Pour it into individual bowls and garnish with a tsp. of the jujube and honey.
  8. Serve hot.
