Recipe - Plain Congee

Method: stovetop

Difficulty: low

Estimated Cook Time: 1 hour

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (60 grams) of white rice (we prefer short grain)
  • 10 cups (2.4 liters) of water or broth (chicken broth, vegetable broth, etc)
  • salt (optional)

Instructions

  • Rinse rice in cold water. Discard cloudy water. Repeat until water becomes clearer.
  • Add rice and water (or replace water with broth) to large pot. Bring to a boil with high heat. Stir occasionally so that the rice doesn't stick to the bottom.
  • Lower the heat to a simmer. Partially cover the pot while making sure to leave enough room for steam to escape so that the pot doesn't boil over. Cook for 45 - 60 minutes depending on desired texture, while stirring once in a while. Add more water (or broth) if consistency seems too thick.
  • Serve piping hot or allow to cool slightly. Season with salt and add toppings if desired. Can also be served along with side dishes.
Bon Appétit!
