Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 6 cups water or broth (vegetable or chicken)
- 200 g ground pork
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings:
Instructions
- Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pot, bring the water or broth to a boil. Add the rinsed rice and reduce the heat to low. Simmer, partially covered, for about 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the rice breaks down and the mixture thickens into a porridge-like consistency.
- In the meantime, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Once the rice has reached the desired consistency, add the cooked ground pork, soy sauce, sliced green onions, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve the ground pork rice congee hot, garnished with your choice of toppings such as fried shallots, cilantro, sliced green onions, or a drizzle of sesame oil. Enjoy!
