- 1
Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly. Marinate the rice with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp cooking oil. Let it sit for 10-20 minutes to loosen the grains.
đĄ Proffstips: This step helps create a creamier congee. - 2
Marinate the thinly sliced or minced pork with salt, white pepper, light soy sauce, and ginger slices. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Chop one preserved egg into small pieces and mix it with the marinated rice. Set aside the other preserved egg, diced, for later.
đĄ Proffstips: Using both chopped and diced preserved eggs adds different textures and flavors. - 4
In a large pot, bring 1200ml of water or broth to a boil. Add the marinated rice (with the chopped preserved egg) and the whole piece of pork.
đĄ Proffstips: Use a pot that is at least 3 times the volume of the ingredients to prevent boiling over. - 5
Stir constantly over medium-high heat until the mixture boils again. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 6
Remove the pork from the pot. Shred or cut it into smaller pieces. Return the pork to the congee. Add the diced preserved egg.
đĄ Proffstips: Shredding the pork makes it easier to incorporate into the congee. - 7
Simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the congee is thick and creamy and the pork is tender. Stir frequently.
- 8
Season with salt to taste. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and optional toppings like fried dough sticks or cilantro.
đĄ Proffstips
- âFor an even smoother congee, you can blend a portion of the cooked rice grains before adding the pork and preserved egg.
- âIf the congee becomes too thick, add more hot water or broth.
- âThe quality of preserved eggs can vary; choose good quality ones for the best flavor.
