Golden, silky pumpkin porridge dotted with small rice cake balls.
Chungnam is a major pumpkin-growing region, and this porridge is what you give someone recovering, or eat as a light breakfast. The pumpkin is steamed, purรฉed and thickened with glutinous rice flour, then finished with tiny rice balls called saealsim. The sweetness is natural enough that it needs almost no sugar.
