Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 8 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 200 grams plant-based chicken
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
Peel and finely chop the ginger, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and stir in the rinsed jasmine rice, chopped ginger, and minced garlic.
Cover the pot loosely and let the mixture simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the rice grains are soft and the congee reaches a creamy consistency.
While the congee is simmering, cut the plant-based chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a skillet over medium heat, add sesame oil and sauté the plant-based chicken pieces until golden and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes.
Once the congee is ready, stir in the sautéed plant-based chicken pieces, soy sauce, salt, and white pepper.
Simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Finely slice the green onions and use them to garnish the congee before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your vegan chicken congee!
