📌 RECIPE
This is my current base recipe for two BIG servings. By big I mean 1 1/2–2 pints PER serving. Lately I've been adding more veg to my original recipe and dialing the rice back from 2/3 cup to 1/2 cup dry.
1/2 cup jasmine rice
4 1/2 cups water
1/4 tsp white pepper
2 diced carrots
2 diced celery ribs
1 big thumb ginger, cut into sticks
Add all of the above to an instant pot for 20 minutes at high pressure, then quick release. If you typically salt food, you may want to season with salt, but I have adjusted my preferences to this without pre-salting.
I almost always enjoy my congee topped with sliced scallions, a big dollop of Sambal Oelek, and I put some low sodium soy sauce in a ramekin to splash on top at the table. You can add minced white onion or dry minced onion or dry minced garlic or leeks or mushrooms or hearty soy curls or so many other lovely, flavorful toppings and mixins! Such a warming delight!!!
