Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large pot, combine 3/4 cup rinsed jasmine rice with 6 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Step 2: Reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the rice breaks down into a creamy porridge.
  3. Step 3: Add 8 oz bite-sized chicken thigh pieces, 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp white pepper. Simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil until the miso is fully dissolved and the congee is flavorful.
  5. Step 5: Ladle into bowls and garnish each with 2 thinly sliced green onions. Serve warm to soothe cold symptoms and nourish the body.
