Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup medium grain rice or long grain rice
  • 10 cups chicken broth low-sodium, or vegetable broth
  • 1-inch ginger peeled and thinly sliced, piece
  • kosher salt to taste
  • green onion for garnish, chopped
  • sesame oil optional, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Wash the rice until the water runs clear, then let it soak in water for a minimum of 20 minutes. Make sure to drain it thoroughly.
  2. In a pot, combine soaked rice, broth, ginger, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and help the rice thicken into a creamy porridge. If needed, add a little bit of water to thin it out.
  4. Taste the congee and adjust salt if needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a light drizzle of sesame oil if desired.
