Add the ginger slices to the congee during the last 10 minutes of cooking to infuse the flavor.

Step 6

Season the congee with soy sauce, salt, and white pepper, adjusting the amounts to taste.

Step 7

Add the seafood to the pot during the last 5 to 7 minutes of cooking or until they are just cooked through and opaque.

Step 8

Stir in half of the green onions, reserving the remaining for garnish.

Step 9

Drizzle sesame oil over the congee and give it a gentle stir.

Step 10

Serve the congee hot in bowls, garnished with remaining green onions, cilantro, and fried shallots.
