CANNED CONGEE RECIPES

Steps:

• Wash rice in a bowl:
• Start boiling water. Chop ginger into thin slices, and then into thin strips. Chop a few strands of cilantro and green onion into small pieces.
• Cut the chicken into thin slices and place it in a bowl to marinate.
• Pour the boiled water from earlier into a pot, set on high heat, and wait for the pot to boil before adding our rice. It's important not to add the rice before the pot starts boiling.
• Once the pot is boiling again, we'll partially cover the pot and let it cook at medium heat for 25 minutes.
• Once we've hit 25 minutes, we can either proceed with this step or cook it for longer.
• Set the stove to high heat, and slowly add the chicken over the course of 30 to 60 seconds, stirring constantly as you go. If you add it all at once, it will clump up.
• Almost there! Add the strips of ginger, as well as salt and chicken bouillon. Stir everything around for 20-30 seconds.
• Turn off the heat, and pour the jook into your favorite bowl. Garnish with the green onions and cilantro.

Steps:

• In the slow cooker, combine the rice, stock, water, sliced ginger and whole scallions. Cover and cook on high, stirring occasionally, until the rice has broken down and is soupy, about 4 hours.
• Pick out and discard the ginger and whole scallions. Stir the chicken into the congee. Cover and cook on high, stirring a few times, until the chicken is white throughout, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cover the Chinese sausages with water and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until heated through, about 6 minutes. Drain the sausages and cut them into thin slices.
• Season the congee with salt and ladle into bowls. Pass the sliced sausages, minced ginger, sliced scallions, peanuts, soy sauce, sesame oil and hot sauce at the table.
