This easy congee recipe simmers rice in a savory ginger broth to make a creamy and comforting rice porridge. Top with a soft-boiled egg, crispy bacon, or pickled vegetables for a breakfast congee. Or add leftover chicken, pork, or tofu and garnish with chili oil or sliced fresh chilies for heat.

 

 🍚 Basic Congee (Chinese Rice Porridge)

Ingredients

• 1 cup short-grain or medium-grain white rice
  (jasmine rice works great!)

• 8–10 cups water or broth
  📝 More liquid = smoother, silkier congee

• 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Optional flavor boosters:

• 2–3 slices ginger

• A splash of sesame oil

• Green onions for topping

---

Instructions

1. Rinse the rice until water runs clearer.

2. Combine rice + water/broth in a large pot.

3. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat.

4. Simmer 1–1.5 hours, stirring occasionally
   → prevents sticking and helps rice break down

5. Add salt and adjust consistency:

   • Too thick? Add more water

   • Too thin? Simmer a bit longer

6. Serve hot with toppings!
