Pork and Century Egg Rice Congee Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chinese Recipes. (Pork and Century Egg Rice Congee Recipe). This traditional Chinese breakfast rice porridge is filling, cheap, warming, and oh so good. I like my rice well broken down and therefore use a short-grain rice and a longer cooking time. I hope you enjoy! Serve hot in small bowls, garnished with a drop of oyster sauce, chopped scallion greens, and small slices of yau ja gwai (fried chinese bread stick, or chinese crullers).

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice in several changes of cold water. Drain completely in a mesh strainer and place into a large pot. Stir the vegetable oil into the rice and set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Stir 6 cups of water the bouillon cube char siu and green onion into the rice. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours. Stir frequently as the rice cooks to help break the rice grains apart and keep it from burning on the bottom.

Step 3

Stir in the remaining 2 cups of water and the century egg. Continue cooking another 1 1/2 hours stirring frequently until the congee reaches your desired consistency. The congee is ready when the individual grains of rice are no longer discernable and have thickened the soup.
