👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Rinsing removes excess starch, leading to a smoother congee. - 2
In a bowl, marinate the shredded pork with 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp white pepper, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Mix well and set aside for at least 15 minutes.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 3
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the rinsed rice and 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the rice has broken down and the congee has thickened.
⏱️ 1 hour💡 Consigli Professionali: Stirring prevents the congee from sticking to the bottom of the pot. - 4
Add the marinated pork and julienned ginger to the simmering congee. Stir gently and continue to cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
⏱️ 20 minutes💡 Consigli Professionali: Add more water if the congee becomes too thick for your liking. - 5
Stir in the diced preserved eggs and cook for another 5 minutes.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Season the congee with salt to taste. Ladle into individual bowls.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Taste and adjust seasoning carefully, as preserved eggs can be salty. - 7
Garnish with sliced scallions, fried shallots (if using), a drizzle of sesame oil, and a pinch of white pepper.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Garnishes add texture and enhance the overall flavor profile.
