Notes

  • Wash and rinse rice and put into an instant pot pressure cooker. Then, add water, cover the lid and close the vent. Push the manual button and adjust time to 15 minutes and natural release.
  • Try not to do a quick release because it will make a mess when you release the pressure.
  • If you want to cook the porridge over stove top, wash and rinse the rice. Then, put the rice into a pot. Then, add water. Turn the fire to medium high until it is boiling and turn the fire to small. Let it simmer for 1-1.5 hours. Stir it once a while to prevent burning the bottom. (Add more water is needed for the stove top method.)
  • Cut ginger into small strips.
  • Cut lean pork into small thin slices and marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  • When the rice porridge is ready, open the lid and push the sauté button for 5 minutes. (You can sauté longer if you want thicker rice porridge.)
  • After that, add ginger and marinated pork, keep stirring the rice porridge to prevent the congee burn.
  • Until the pork is cooked, add preserved egg and green onion. The congee is thicker when it is hot. It will be a little runny when it’s cool off.
  • Always add salt to your taste. You can add more white pepper or sesame oil to your taste.
