Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.

  2. 2

    In a large pot, combine rinsed rice and 7 cups water; bring to a boil over high heat.

  3. 3

    Once boiling, reduce to medium-low heat. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent sticking and promote creaminess.

  4. 4

    Add salt and white pepper, adjusting heat to low if the congee begins to splatter; continue cooking and stirring for another 10–15 minutes until silky thickening is reached.

  5. 5

    Portion hot congee into bowls. Drizzle each serving with sesame oil, top with pork floss, and garnish with finely sliced scallions to serve.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The key ingredient is jasmine rice, which forms the creamy, smooth base of the congee. Its soft texture and subtle fragrance are essential to the dish's comforting appeal.
Q. How do you ensure the congee stays silky and doesn't stick to the bottom?
Stirring every 5 minutes during simmering and maintaining medium-low heat prevents the rice from sticking and encourages a silky, creamy texture. Attention to heat and moisture is key.
Q. What should I watch out for to avoid overcooking or undercooking the congee?
Let the rice gently simmer until each grain breaks down and the mixture thickens without drying out. Stir often—the congee is ready when it's creamy but the grains haven't fully disappeared.
Q. How many calories are in each serving, and what is the protein-to-carb ratio?
Each 300g serving contains 185 kcal, with 32g carbohydrates (70% of calories) and 9g protein (19% of calories), making this a nutritious, balanced choice for breakfast.
