Ingredients
- 1 cup medium or long grain rice
- 10 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1-inch ginger piece peeled and thinly sliced
- Kosher salt to taste
- chopped green onions for garnish
- sesame oil optional, for drizzling
Instructions
- 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.
- In a pot, combine soaked rice, broth, ginger, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- 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.
- Taste the congee and adjust salt if needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a light drizzle of sesame oil if desired.
