Add 1/2 teaspoon of oil to the washed white rice and mix well to coat each grain. Let the rice sit and absorb the oil for 15 to 20 minutes. This step helps create the smooth, silky texture in the final porridge.

While the rice is resting, prepare the pork marinade. In a bowl with the minced pork, add 1/2 teaspoon of oyster sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of light soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of Chinese wine (hua tiao), a dash of pepper, a pinch of sugar, a drizzle of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.

Using your hands or a spoon, mix all the marinade ingredients thoroughly with the minced pork until everything is well combined and the pork is evenly coated.

Add a little water (about 1 tablespoon) to the marinated minced pork and mix again. The water helps to tenderize the pork and create a slightly looser consistency, which will contribute to the porridge's texture.

The prepped dried scallops, oiled rice, and marinated minced pork are now ready for the next stage of cooking the pork porridge.
