Pork Congee

Pork Congee is a comforting, savory rice porridge, perfect for a nourishing breakfast. Packed with flavor from tender pork and aromatic ginger, it provides a warm start to your day.

Ingredients

• Jasmine rice - 100 grams
• Pork tenderloin - 150 grams, thinly sliced
• Water - 1.5 liters
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Spring onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• White pepper - to taste
• Chili oil - optional, for serving

Steps

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
2. In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a boil over high heat.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced pork and stir-fry until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Add soy sauce and sesame oil to the pork, mixing well. Remove from heat.
6. Once the congee has thickened and the rice is very soft, season with salt and white pepper to taste.
7. Serve the congee in bowls, topped with the stir-fried pork and garnished with chopped spring onions. Drizzle with chili oil if desired.
