- 150 grams Scallops, muscle removed
- 150 grams White fish fillet, cut into cubes
- 1 inch piece Ginger, thinly sliced

Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
In a large pot, bring the 8 cups of chicken broth to a boil.
Add the rinsed rice and ginger slices to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice breaks down and the mixture becomes porridge-like.
Meanwhile, prepare the seafood: pat the shrimp, scallops, and fish fillets dry with a paper towel.
Once the congee has thickened, add the seafood (shrimp, scallops, and fish) to the pot.
Stir in the garlic, salt, white pepper, and soy sauce.
Let the seafood cook in the congee for about 5-10 minutes, or until they are fully cooked through and opaque.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Stir in the sesame oil, then ladle the congee into bowls.
Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro leaves.
Serve the seafood congee hot, and enjoy your high-protein meal.
