Fish Congee

Cultural Context

Congee is a traditional rice porridge popular in many Asian countries, often enjoyed for breakfast or as comfort food.

AsianCNmain
50 min
medium
4 servings
Servings4
1 1/2 US cup rice (we use Jasmine rice)
3 tsp salt, or to taste (reserve 1 tsp to soak into the grains)
1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
3 tbsp fish sauce
5 L / 21 US cups water
1 tbsp cooking oil (for soaking into the grains)
750 g / 1.65 lb fish (we use ling)
1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tbsp fried garlic (optional)
1/4 US cup minced garlic
3 tbsp cooking oil
1

Wash the rice grains and mix it in with salt and oil. Let it rest for 1 hour then pour it into a pot of boiling water.

2

Cook the grains for at least 20 minutes or until it reaches your preferred consistency. Note: Remember to stir the pot's base every 5 minutes so the rice grains don't stick to the bottom and burn!

3

While the congee is cooking, heat the cooking oil and brown the garlic over a medium heat until golden, then transfer to a serving dish to cool.

4

Fillet the ling thinly by holding the knife with the blade facing away from you and cutting at an angle.

5

Marinate the sliced fish with fish sauce, chicken bouillon powder, pepper and the fried garlic for a minimum of 10 minutes.

6

Turn the heat on low or completely off, put the fish in to cook using residual or low heat for 5 minutes or until cooked. Note: The low heat will result in silkier fillets.

7

Serve hot with fried garlic, chopped spring onions and ginger!
