Ingredients
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 7 cups water
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt or more to taste
Directions
  1. In a medium-sized pot, combine the rice, water, and salt. Cover and bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce the heat to very low and simmer with the lid ajar until the congee is thick and creamy, about 45 minutes. Stir frequently so the rice doesn't stick to the bottom.
  3. Portion out congee into bows and top with desired garnishes, such as sesame oil, soy sauce, soft-boiled eggs, scallions, or sesame seeds.
