Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups white jasmine rice
  • 6 cups water

To serve in each bowl:

  • Chopped scallion
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seed oil
  • Soy sauce to taste
  • Black pepper
  • 3 tbsp shredded soy floss can be found in specialty sections of Asian stores

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain rice twice, then in a large pot, combine drained rice and water.
  • Bring to a boil and let simmer, stirring frequently until rice has doubled and resembles the same texture of oatmeal (about 25 minutes).
  • Add more water if you like your congee a little thinner, but I like mine pretty clumpy.
  • Take off the heat and serve with a drizzle of toasted sesame seed oil, scallions, soy sauce ,black pepper, and if you have access to it, shredded soy floss.
