Ginger Congee with Egg and Crispy Shallots
Report
This comforting savoury ginger congee is is a staple rice dish across many Asian countries. It is traditionally eaten as a breakfast in China, but it is so good that I love it curled up on the sofa late at night. This is food that feeds your soul as well as your belly. Honestly this just make you feel good!

- 1 garlic clove
- salt
- white pepper
- 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice about ¾ cups uncooked, cooked

- Add the stock to the pan along wth the ginger water, crushed garlic clove, plenty of salt and white pepper. Bring to the boil.
- Pour in the rice, reduce the heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes until the rice is very soft and the mixture has thickened. You might need to add more stock if it starts to look too dry.
- Once it has thickened and the rice is soft. Remove from the heat, cover and set to one side.
- Cook eggs in boiling water for 7 minutes.
- Drain and run them under cold water until you are able to hold them to peel.
