  • Gentle, soothing dish perfect for a light meal or when feeling under the weather
  • Simple pantry ingredients transform into a silky, comforting porridge
  • Endlessly customizable with your favorite toppings
  • 3/4 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed
  • 7 cups chicken broth
  • +8 more ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs
  1. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs mostly clear; this removes excess surface starch that can make the congee gummy rather than smoothly creamy.

Continue simmering until the sauce reduces and coats the back of a spoon.

Rest the dish for five minutes before serving with your favorite side.
