The Perfect Congee
Feb 20, 2025This is possibly the easiest, tastiest meal you'll impress yourself with each time you make it!
Even our 10-year-old loves it and says: "It tastes really good and the texture is amazing.” š„°
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried long-grain rice, rinsed 3 or 4 times (use long-grain rice for the best texture)
- 8 cups of water
- 2 non-chicken bouillon cubes (click here to order from Amazon)
- 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated or minced
- 4-5 cloves garlic, grated or minced
- 4 green onions, sliced
Directions:
STEP 1
In a large Dutch oven or stock pot, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then add bouillon cubes (you can add them at any time). Reduce to a simmer, cover with a lid slightly cracked open to let steam escape, and cook for 35 minutes until the rice is soft, creamy, and cooked through.
STEP 2
Stir in the garlic and ginger, then cook for an additional 5-10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
STEP 3
Ladle into bowls and top with your favorites - cooked mushrooms, tofu, green onions, roasted sesame seeds, a drizzle of soy sauce, or chili oil.
