How to Make Miso Egg Congee

  1. Remove miso paste from refrigerator 10 minutes before starting to soften.
  2. Rinse 1/2 cup of short-grain white rice under cold water until water runs clear.
  3. (Optional) Soak rice in cold water for 30 minutes for a creamier texture.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 17 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  6. While rice simmers, lightly beat 1 large egg in a small bowl.
  7. At the 17-minute mark, slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the simmering congee, stirring gently to create soft ribbons of egg throughout.
  8. Continue to simmer for another 3 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of miso paste until dissolved. Do not boil after adding miso.
  10. Serve hot. Garnish with optional green onions or sesame seeds for extra flavor and visual appeal.
