How to Make Rice Porridge Congee With Century Egg And Pork Or Chicken

  2. Add 2 inches of roughly chopped fresh ginger and 4 cups of chicken broth to the soaked rice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally at first and more frequently during the last 10 minutes.
  3. Add 2 chopped green onions, 2 chopped century eggs, and 1 cup of shredded cooked chicken or pork (or substitute with your own poached meat).
  4. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring gently.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground white pepper.
  6. Serve the congee hot in bowls. Garnish each bowl with a drizzle of dark soy sauce (about 1/2 teaspoon per bowl) and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
