This dish is estimated to provide 220kcal based on the recipe below. Please consider to make the right choice for your health!

1. Preparation

Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

Prepare your choice of toppings, such as chopped scallions, shredded chicken, or cooked mushrooms.

2. Cooking

In a large pot, combine the soaked rice with 8 cups of water or chicken broth for added flavor.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid.

Let the congee simmer gently for about 60-70 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Check the consistency; if you prefer it thicker, cook longer, or if too thick, add more water to reach your desired consistency.

Once done, remove from heat and season with salt to taste.

3. Serving

Ladle the congee into bowls.

Top with your choice of garnishes like chopped scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, or pickled vegetables.

Serve hot for a comforting meal.
