Plating & presentation

How to plate this dish like a pro

Serve in a deep earthenware or wooden bowl. Garnish with crisp shallots, chili oil, or fresh herb to break the soft texture.

Common mistakes

What to avoid

1Underseasoning. Porridges need salt layers and finishing fat to come alive.
2Adding starchy thickeners too early. Plantain/yam release their own starch as they break down.
3Skipping a finishing oil or chili. The garnish does as much work as the base.
