Rice, pork tripe

There are two types of "juicy": kufa (hard) juicy, which is cooked with rice, and yafala (soft) juicy (also called boro boro juicy), which is cooked with rice in a porridge. Kufa Juicy is cooked with pork, which adds a nice fatty sheen to the dish, and is served with a vinegared "usachi" to refresh the slight greasiness that remains in the mouth after the meal. Originally, it was a dish for special occasions and celebrations, but in recent years, it has become a popular home-style dish as well. Kufa juicy" includes "Ungke juicy" made with leaf ginger and "Tunji juicy" made with taro on the winter solstice, both of which are prepared during "Ungke" to welcome the spirits of the dead during the Bon festival. On the other hand, "yafala juicy" is a porridge-style dish cooked with a lot of water. The "yafala juicy" usually eaten in the past includes "huchibar (mugwort) juicy," "kandaba (taro leaf) juicy," "kuri (squid ink) juicy," and so on.

It is served as an event dish and a celebratory dish. The Bon Festival of the lunar calendar begins on July 13th with "Ung Kae," the welcoming of the spirits, and ends three days later with "U Kuei," the sending off of the spirits. On the evening of Ung Kae, "Ung Kae Juicy" made with leaf ginger is eaten among juicy dishes. Tung Ji Juicy" made with either taro or taro is a dish eaten on the winter solstice. Today, it is also eaten as an everyday food.

Wash rice and drain in a colander. Boil whole pork tripe and cut into hail. Cut carrots, dried shiitake mushrooms and fish paste in the same way. Put the cooled pork broth, soy sauce, and salt in a pot and cook the rice, pork chops, vegetables, and fish paste in that order. When the rice is cooked, add lard and mix. It is sometimes made into onigiri (rice balls) and served as lunch boxes.
