Instructions

Heat oil in a medium sized pot over medium to high heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and cook until onion has become soft and is lightly browned. Then add the minced garlic, ginger, and fish sauce, and saute for a further 30 seconds.
Add the rice and saute for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the rice is lightly browned.
Carefully add the stock to the pot and stir. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
Add the cubed salmon and simmer uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the rice is tender and the salmon is cooked.
Once the rice is tender and the congee is to a consistency of your liking (see note 1), mix through the chopped green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Some topping ideas for your salmon congee:
The salmon congee will thicken as it cools. If you want a looser congee, add some more stock and adjust seasoning to taste.
Soft boiled egg
Chopped green onions (spring onions)
Freshly chopped herbs like parsley
Toasted sesame seeds
Pickled vegetables such as daikon radish or ginger.
