Congee
Congee has been eaten across China for over a thousand years, prized as gentle, nourishing food for the sick and the very young alike.
A silky rice porridge simmered low and slow until the grains break down completely — China's ultimate comfort food, endlessly customisable with toppings.
Ingredients
Method
Rinse rice, then combine with water and ginger in a pot.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a very gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45-60 minutes until thick and creamy.
Season with soy sauce and sesame oil.
Top with spring onions and any desired toppings such as preserved egg or shredded chicken.
Stirring occasionally as it cooks helps break down the rice for that classic silky congee texture.
