Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water. Combine the rice, broth, ginger slices, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 50-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking. The congee is done when the rice has completely broken down into a thick, creamy porridge.
Tip: Stirring helps release the starch and makes the congee creamier. If it gets too thick, add more broth or water.
Remove the ginger slices. Stir in sesame oil. Taste and adjust salt.
Ladle into bowls. Top each with a halved soft-boiled egg, crispy shallots, green onions, a drizzle of soy sauce, and white pepper.
