Rinse the rice and julienne the ginger.

Reduce to a low simmer, cover partially and cook for 50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice breaks down into a thick porridge.
Slice the fish fillets thinly.
Stir half the ginger and the light soy sauce into the porridge.
Slide the sliced fish into the hot porridge and simmer for 4 minutes until it turns opaque and flakes easily.
Stir in the sesame oil and white pepper.
Ladle into bowls and top with the remaining ginger, spring onions and crispy fried shallots.
