Congee(Chinese Rice Porridge)
Rice porridge is a common breakfast food in many Asian countries. This type of Chinese rice porridge is primarily made from rice, resulting in a soft, smooth, and slightly thick consistency. It melts in your mouth, with a delicate rice aroma and a hint of sweetness, making it suitable for people of all ages.
INGREDIENTS
- 80g millet
DIRECTIONS
Prepare all the required ingredients.
Prepare the Side Ingredients:
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Set aside.
Wash the fresh tremella and tear it into small pieces. Set aside.
Wash the millet and soak it for about 10 minutes.
Soaking the millet helps soften it, allowing it to cook more quickly.
After 10 minutes, place all the ingredients into a clay pot.
Add approximately 640g of water, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Tip:
The rice-to-water ratio has been detailed above. If you want the congee to be thicker, you can add a bit more water.
Cook until the millet has opened up, the tremella is soft and tender, and the sweet potatoes are mushy.
Serve a bowl, and your delicious congee is ready to enjoy!
