Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 10 cups Water
- 200 grams Boneless white fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia)
- 150 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 20 grams Ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and ensures a smoother congee.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the rinsed rice and sliced ginger.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the rice for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until it breaks down and reaches a porridge-like consistency.
Step 4
While the rice is cooking, prepare the seafood: cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces and season the shrimp lightly with white pepper.
Step 5
Once the congee has reached the desired consistency, add the fish pieces and shrimp. Gently stir and let cook for 5-7 minutes until the seafood is cooked through.
Step 6
In a small pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add this garlic oil to the congee, stirring well.
Step 7
Season the congee with low sodium soy sauce and white pepper to taste. Stir in half of the chopped scallions and cilantro.
Step 8
Serve the congee hot, garnished with the remaining scallions and cilantro. Accompany with lime wedges on the side for added flavor.
