Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
In a small bowl, combine the sliced pork with light soy sauce, cornstarch, ground white pepper, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly and set aside to marinate.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Slicing the pork when it's partially frozen can help you get thinner, more uniform slices.
2
Place the rinsed rice and water in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven.
Aproximativ 1 min.
3
Bring the pot to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring once or twice.
Aproximativ 10 min.
4
Reduce the heat to low, cover with the lid slightly ajar, and let it simmer for about 60 minutes.
Aproximativ 1 oră
Nota bucătarului: Stir the congee every 15 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pot to prevent the rice from sticking and burning.
5
While the congee simmers, prepare the century eggs, ginger, and scallions for the congee and for garnish as specified.
6
After an hour, the rice grains should be broken down and the congee should be thick. Increase heat to medium-low and add the marinated pork, stirring to separate the slices.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: The congee should be at a gentle simmer when you add the pork to cook it quickly and keep it tender.
7
Once the pork is no longer pink, stir in the chopped century egg and the julienned ginger.
Aproximativ 1 min.
8
Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Aproximativ 5 min.
9
Stir in the salt, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Aproximativ 1 min.
10
Ladle the hot congee into individual serving bowls.
Aproximativ 1 min.
11
Top with the century egg wedges, sliced scallions, and optional youtiao pieces before serving.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: A final drizzle of sesame oil or soy sauce can also be a nice touch.
