Instructions

FOR THE CONGEE

  • Place all the congee ingredients into the Instant Pot or pressure cooker, which includes the washed jasmine rice, water, ginger, sea salt, chicken powder and sesame oil.
  • Close the lid, then pressure cook using the "porridge" feature, ensuring that the valve is in sealing position, then wait for the pressure to naturally release.

FOR THE PORK

  • While waiting for the pressure to fully release, in a small bowl, combine the water, corn starch, sea salt and neutral oil.
  • Pour the mixture over the pork slices, then combine until fully incorporated.
  • Set the pork aside for at least 15 minutes.

ASSEMBLING THE CONGEE

  • When the congee is cooked and pressure is completely released, discard the ginger them mix the congee with a ladle.
  • Press cancel, then turn on the "saute" feature.
  • When the congee begins to bubble, add the pork slices and stir continuously until the pork is fully cooked (about 3 minutes).
  • Blend in ½ cup water then add the century egg pieces and white pepper powder. Stir until all ingredients are incorporated. (If congee is too thick, add more water until it reaches your desired consistency)
  • Top with chopped scallions and enjoy!
