做法
分步操作
- 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.
约 5分钟
烹饪提示: 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.
约 1分钟
- 3
Bring the pot to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring once or twice.
约 10分钟
- 4
Reduce the heat to low, cover with the lid slightly ajar, and let it simmer for about 60 minutes.
约 1小时
烹饪提示: 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.
约 2分钟
烹饪提示: 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.
约 1分钟
- 8
Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Top with the century egg wedges, sliced scallions, and optional youtiao pieces before serving.
约 1分钟
烹饪提示: A final drizzle of sesame oil or soy sauce can also be a nice touch.
妥善保存
Store leftover congee in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen it to your desired consistency.
