Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 8 cups water
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon, julienned ginger
- 200 grams, skinless and boneless tilapia fillets
- 150 grams, peeled and deveined shrimp
- 2 stalks, chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional) cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Drain well.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered. Stir occasionally to avoid the rice sticking to the bottom. Let it cook for about 45 minutes or until the rice breaks down and the congee reaches your desired consistency.
Step 4
While the congee is cooking, prepare the seafood. Cut the tilapia fillets into bite-sized pieces and keep them separate from the shrimp.
Step 5
After the congee has cooked for 45 minutes, add the ginger, tilapia, and shrimp to the pot. Stir gently and let cook for another 10-15 minutes or until the seafood is fully cooked.
Step 6
Season the congee with soy sauce, salt, and white pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and stir in the sesame oil.
Step 8
Ladle the congee into bowls and garnish with chopped scallions and cilantro, if using.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your bowl of soothing low fat seafood congee.
