CHICKEN CONGEE

Steps:

• Rinse and drain the rice.
• Put the rice in a pot with the chicken stock and bring to boil. Give the rice a good stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking, then lower the heat and half-cover the pan. Simmer gently for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes, until the grains have burst open and you have a thick congee. Keep an eye on the pot to make sure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom. Toward the end of cooking, when the stock has become integrated with the rice and is the consistency of oatmeal, season lightly with salt to taste.
• Serve the congee with a sprinkling of soy sauce, spring onion and ginger and a few drops of sesame oil to taste.

CHICKEN CONGEE (GYE JOKE)

Steps:

• Marinate the pork with salt overnight. Just before cooking, rinse with water.
• Marinate chicken meat with soy sauce overnight.
• Cook the rice with the stock and the salted lean pork in a slow cooker. Start cooking at about 9 p.m. over high heat. Just before going to bed, stir the porridge and scrape the bottom and change the setting to automatic or low. The next morning, give it another stir and scrape the bottom. (For stovetop cooking instructions, see headnote.)
• To make one serving, scoop a bowl of porridge into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add a few pieces of marinated chicken and stir over medium heat until the chicken is cooked. Transfer into a bowl and drizzle with a little oil, garnish with fried shallots, spring onions, and ginger strips. Season with soy sauce, salt and pepper. Serve with condiments on separate plates.

CONGEE WITH SOY EGGS

Steps:

• First make the soy eggs. Bring a small pan of water to the boil and add the eggs. Boil for 6 mins, then lift the eggs out with a slotted spoon and place in cold water and leave to cool. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs.
• In a small bowl mix the soy with the sugar, stirring well so that the sugar dissolves. Pour in 75ml water then add the eggs and leave in the soy mixture for at least 2 hours. You may need to put a little weight, or small plate on top of the eggs to keep them submerged, as they'll be bobbing around.
• Next, make the congee. Place the rice in a small bowl and wash in running cold water until the water turns clear and doesn't look milky. Add the chicken stock and the rice to a medium saucepan, bring to the boil then cook for 25 mins at a gentle simmer. If necessary, top up with a little water. You want it to be soupy, like a wet risotto.
• When the rice is cooked, season to taste and stir in the shredded chicken and chopped ginger. Add the butter to the pan, and stir until it is fully melted and incorporated.
• Remove the eggs from the soy mixture and cut in half. Divide the congee between 2 bowls. Scatter over the chopped spring onions and crushed peanuts. Top with the soy egg halves and a sprig of coriander. Drizzle the sriracha over and finish with a spoonful of the soy egg marinade.
