Quick Congee Recipe (10 Minutes)
This congee recipe comes together in only 10 minutes. You will need a high-speed blender to blend the rice into a fine powder. Once that is done, it only takes 10 minutes of simmering to become silky smooth. It tastes just as good as congee that has been simmering for hours.
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 9 cups water
- 4 slices ginger (peeled)
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder
Instructions
- Rinse rice under cold tap water until the water runs clear.
- Add rinsed rice and 4 cups of water to a blender. Blend on medium speed and gradually increase to high until the rice is a fine powder, about 30 seconds.
- Add the blended rice, remaining 5 cups of water, ginger, and chicken bouillon powder to a medium pot and bring to a boil. Make sure to stir frequently as the rice tends to settle to the bottom and burn. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- At this point, it's ready to eat. If it's not soft enough, you can cook it for another 5 minutes or blend it further in the blender. Since the rice is soft now, it will get even more smooth.
Notes
Storage: Allow the congee to come to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To speed up the cooling process, you can fill a sink with cold water and place the pot inside it.
