Congee (aka jook or rice porridge) is a popular breakfast (or anytime) meal in China. It is very easily digested because the ratio of rice to liquid is 1:8. This recipe combines the warming spices: ginger, garlic, onion, scallion, plus sesame seeds to strengthen kidney yang. Eggs, besides being part of a traditional breakfast, are the perfect food to improve fertility. Be sure to get organic, pasture raised eggs for the most benefit.
Ingredients:
6 cups of water
2 cups organic chicken bone broth
1 cup organic jasmati rice, rinsed and drained
1/2 tsp sea salt
Toppings:
Organic eggs (scrambled or hard boiled)
Scallion, chopped
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Dried ginger
Black pepper
Pinch of sea salt
Sesame seeds
Instant Pot Directions:
Rinse rice under cold water until water is clear. Drain and add rice to the pot and stir in bone broth, water and sea salt. Seal the pot and set on manual for 22 minutes. Once timer beeps, let the rice sit in the pot for 20 minutes before releasing the pressure valve.
Once congee is ready, cook the eggs by scrambling in a pan or boiling for 10 minutes.
Ladle one cup of congee into a bowl and top with 1-2 eggs, scallion, and a sprinkle of garlic powder, onion powder, dried ginger, sea salt, black pepper and sesame seeds.
Crock Pot Directions:
Add water and bone broth to a large pot and bring to a boil.
Once the water is boiling, add the rice and sea salt to the pot.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
Pour everything into a slow-cooker set on low and let cook for 6 - 8 hours (or overnight). Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the sides of the slow cooker.
Once congee is ready, cook the eggs by scrambling in a pan or boiling for 10 minutes.
Ladle one cup of congee into a bowl and top with 1-2 eggs, scallion, and a sprinkle of garlic powder, onion powder, dried ginger, sea salt, black pepper and sesame seeds.
