Craving for a comforting bowl of Cantonese congee but don’t have an hour to cook it? This 15-minute chicken congee hack is perfect for when you’re short on time or feeling under the weather.
By blending leftover rice with chicken broth, you can achieve that creamy, silky texture in no time. I used leftover broth from my Cantonese white-cut chicken (白切雞), but you can easily swap in water with chicken powder. Add your favourite protein, century egg, and veggies for a quick, nourishing meal that’s as easy as it is delicious!
ingredients to making 15-minute chicken congee:
- 1 serving leftover rice
- Chicken broth (or water with chicken powder) enough to cover the rice
- Chicken or any protein of your choice (pork, tofu, etc.)
- 1 cup frozen vegetables
- 1 century egg
- 1 sliced ginger
- 1/4 tsp white pepper powder
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Chopped green onions (garnish)
steps:
- Blend leftover rice with chicken stock, then add to a medium pot. Add sliced ginger and white pepper powder.
- Simmer and stir (to prevent rice from sticking to pot) until desired consistency.
- Throw in frozen vegetables, protein and century egg.
- Garnish with green onions and drizzle of sesame oil.
