CONGEE RATIO 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:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook mushrooms, garlic and green onion until mushrooms are cooked and liquid has evaporated. Stir in chicken broth and rice. Season with parsley, salt and pepper. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
