Ingredients
Method
1 cup Jasmine Rice
8 cups Water Or Chicken Broth
½ tsp. Salt
Optional Toppings: Sliced Green Onions, Chopped Cilantro, Shredded Chicken, Sliced Chinese Sausage, Minced Garlic, Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil
In a large bowl, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain the rice and set it aside.
In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, water or chicken broth, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice for 1.5-2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The congee should be thick and creamy.
Serve the congee hot with your choice of optional toppings.
