Equipment

  • 1 large pot

Ingredients

  • 4 cups rice leftover
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 chunk ginger thumb-sized
  • 2 tbsp bouillon pick your flavor
  • salt

Instructions

  • In your pot, add rice, water, garlic, ginger, and bouillon on medium heat.
  • Bring to a boil and mix and break apart rice.
  • When rice is submerged under the water, bring the mixture to a simmer and cover for 20 minutes.
  • Uncover, mix, and taste for salt, adding more if necessary.
  • If you like a thinner/soupier congee, add water. If you like century eggs, I'd also recommended adding them in at this point too.
  • If additional ingredients have been added, simmer for another 10 minutes. Otherwise, enjoy with your favorite toppings!
