Congee with Century Egg

Congee with Century Egg is a traditional Chinese breakfast dish that is creamy, comforting, and packed with flavor. The rich, savory taste of century egg complements the soft rice porridge, making it a nutritious start to your day.

Ingredients

• Jasmine rice - 100 grams
• Water - 1 liter
• Century egg - 2 pieces
• Ginger - 10 grams, finely sliced
• Spring onion - 2 stalks, chopped
• Soy sauce - 2 teaspoons
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• White pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
2. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and 1 liter of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.

4. While the congee is cooking, peel the century eggs and cut them into wedges.
5. Once the congee is ready, season it with salt, soy sauce, and white pepper to taste.
6. Ladle the congee into bowls, top with century egg wedges, and garnish with chopped spring onions and a drizzle of sesame oil.
