De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1
Combine the rinsed jasmine rice and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low.
Ongeveer 10 min
Tip van de kok: Soaking the rice for 30 minutes before cooking can help it break down faster.
2
Add the pork shoulder and sliced ginger to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Ongeveer 2 min
3
Cover the pot and simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom. The rice should break down into a thick porridge.
Ongeveer 1 uur 30 min
Tip van de kok: If the congee becomes too thick, add a little more hot water.
4
Remove the cooked pork shoulder from the pot and shred it using two forks. Discard the ginger slices.
