Summary

A silky, comforting Chinese rice porridge layered with fresh ginger and garlic, simmered until creamy and finished with vibrant toppings. Simple ingredients deliver deep, savory flavor—equally soothing for breakfast or a cozy dinner.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the rice in a colander under running water for about 1 minute, using your fingers to swirl the grains.

  2. 2

    Add rinsed rice, broth, water, garlic, ginger, and salt to a large pot. Cover with the lid slightly ajar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is soft, about 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Uncover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the rice is falling apart and the congee is smooth and creamy, about 15 minutes more. Add more water as needed to reach desired consistency (or cook longer if too thin).

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust salt as needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with desired toppings. Serve hot.
