Preparation

• 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.
