Tips

Choose the right rice. For Asian congee, use long-grain rice or jasmine rice. These varieties will crumble and create the creamy texture traditional for congee.
Rinse the rice. Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear before cooking. This helps remove excess starch and any impurities from the rice, resulting in a cleaner and clearer broth.
Use broth or vegetable broth. The broth adds flavor to the soup and provides a good base for cooking the rice. You can use meat, chicken, or vegetable broth according to your preference.
Cook the soup slowly. Cook the rice in the broth for at least 1 hour on low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a thick and creamy consistency. This prevents it from sticking and burning. This slow cooking process breaks down the rice and releases its starch, providing a smooth and creamy texture.
If the soup is too thick, add more broth or water to thin it out. If it's too thin, cook it longer or add more rice to thicken it.
