Ingredients
- 1 cup White rice
- 8 cups Water
- 2 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 large Fresh eggs
- 1 inch piece, thinly sliced Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the white rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, chicken or vegetable stock, and sliced ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Step 4
As the rice cooks, it will break down and create a creamy porridge consistency. If the porridge becomes too thick, add a splash of hot water or stock to reach your desired consistency.
Step 5
Season the porridge with salt, soy sauce, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Crack the fresh eggs directly into the hot porridge. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, allowing the whites to set while the yolks remain runny. For firmer yolks, cover the pot with a lid for an additional minute.
Step 7
Ladle the porridge into individual bowls, being careful not to break the egg yolks.
Step 8
Drizzle a small amount of sesame oil over each bowl and garnish with sliced green onions.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot. Stir the egg lightly into the porridge for a rich, silky texture before eating, if desired.
