Silky congee topped with savory pork floss is a quick, protein-rich breakfast bowl. A healthy, family recipe with fresh, umami flavor.
Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
In a large pot, combine rinsed rice and 7 cups water; bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce to medium-low heat. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent sticking and promote creaminess.
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.
Portion hot congee into bowls. Drizzle each serving with sesame oil, top with pork floss, and garnish with finely sliced scallions to serve.
