Wash rice twice - each time with clean tap water. Discard the water. Place rice in a pressure cooker, pot or rice cooker. Add the water, cooking oil and cooking wine. Leave to soak for 30-40 minutes .
After the rice has been soaked for the required time, add in all the ingredients above into the pot. Cook until the congee is thick but not dry, and smooth.
If the water evaporates and the congee becomes too thick while cooking, some hot water can be added in. Do not add too much water at a time as this will dilute its flavor.
For faster cooking time, use a pressure cooker. Using a pot over a stove or an electronic rice cooker is fine too. If using a pot, clay pot is the best. With automatic rice cooker, the heat will turn off by itself after a certain point when the congee has been cooking for long and as it gets thicker. Using the rice cooker, time was approx. 1 hour to 1.15 hour.
