Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw long-grain white rice, rinsed
  • 7 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, plus more for seasoning
  • Two-inch knob of ginger, peeled and sliced thin
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • Sliced green onion, for garnish

Method

  • In large pot add stock, rice, salt and ginger.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer.
  • Stir occasionally so that the rice doesn't clump or stick at the bottom.
  • While the congee is simmering prep the celery, broccoli and carrots: peeling, cutting, and dicing, as needed.
  • Simmer the congee for about 30 minutes then add the celery, broccoli and carrots.
  • Continue to simmer until the congee is thickened and creamy and the vegetables are tender and soft.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • Garnish with the sliced green onion and serve hot.
