Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 to 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 8 to 9 cups chicken stock or more for a thinner congee
- scallops dried, optional
Instructions
- In a large pot on medium heat, add the olive oil and the ground beef. Add the salt and onion powder. Cook the ground beef, breaking it up as you cook, until the beef is 80% cooked.
- Add in the rice, soy sauce, and scallops (if using).
- Stir until everything is well combined.
- Add in the chicken stock.
- Bring the pot up to a boil on high heat before lowering it back to medium heat.
- Simmer for an hour, stirring throughout so the rice doesn’t burn to the bottom of the pan.
- Add additional seasoning if needed and continue to stir until the congee reaches your desired thickness.
- Serve and top with your favourite toppings.

Notes
- If using dried scallops, soak them 20 minutes beforehand and add the scallops and the water to the pot when you add the rice in.
- Around the 30 minute mark, I do a taste test to see if I need to add more seasoning.
