"Toryeom" is a traditional Korean cooking method used for guksu (rice soup) or jjigae, where you alternately mix the broth and rice back and forth to serve it warm. It both heats the rice and brings the broth to the right temperature.
As rice cools, the starch loses moisture and turns stiff, but toryeom adds moisture and heat back in, making it soft again, while the broth naturally seeps into the rice. It's actually similar to how you make risotto.
Though it's a shame that fewer and fewer restaurants do toryeom these days due to hygiene concerns and labor costs.
Apparently the original method alternates piping-hot broth from a cauldron with cold rice about 50 times, but I don't have that kind of setup or skill, so today I just did it about 5 times, more as a gesture.
