Congee Recipe
Great for the winter! Especially if you are feeling sick or weak. It can be eaten for breakfast/lunch/dinner.
Ingredients:
½ cup Jasmine rice
½ cup Sushi short-grain rice (glutinous)
Chicken broth or vegetable broth
2 cups Water
In a pot put 1 cup of rice (the ½ cup jasmine rice plus ½ cup short-grain sushi rice) and the 2 cups of water. Cook over a medium flame. When water boils, lower to medium, cover and let simmer, stirring frequently. Once the water is absorbed add in the chicken and/or vegetable broth. Continue this process until the rice is the consistency of porridge.
Season and add toppings to taste – things like:
- walnuts
- dried fruit
- cilantro
- chopped green onions
- boiled egg
- sesame oil
- meat
Whatever makes you happy! Personally I like to add a bit of cilantro, boiled egg, and sesame oil.
The porridge by itself will last about a week in the fridge.
