Instructions

1

Rinse the rice under cold water. Combine the rice, broth, ginger slices, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil.

2

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.

3

Remove the ginger slices. Stir in sesame oil. Taste and adjust salt.

4

Ladle into bowls. Top each with a halved soft-boiled egg, crispy shallots, green onions, a drizzle of soy sauce, and white pepper.
