Nagaland Galho Naga Rice Pork Congee Fermented One Pot

Method

1. 1

   Wash sticky rice until clear.

2. 2

   Place pork pieces in a pot with 4 cups water.

3. 3

   Bring to a boil. Skim foam. Add crushed garlic, sliced ginger and whole Naga chilli.

4. 4

   Cook on medium for 15 minutes until pork is mostly tender.

5. 5

   Add washed sticky rice. Stir. Add fermented bamboo shoot.

6. 6

   Reduce to medium-low. Cook on medium-low for 20 to 25 minutes stirring every 8 minutes.

7. 7

   The sticky rice will absorb the broth and swell, thickening the galho into a hearty porridge-like consistency.

8. 8

   Add seasonal greens. Stir. Cook 5 more minutes until greens are wilted.

9. 9

   Season with salt. The galho should be thick, very filling, and deeply flavoured from the pork broth, bamboo and Naga chilli.
