Chicken Congee but with 20% effort

Cooking doesn’t need to be hard or complicated. Often, you're simply looking for a recipe that gets you most of the way there with minimal effort, hence 80/20.

Welcome back to the series, sorry I haven’t posted in a while! I was traveling a lot in the last month but now we’re back, and today we have a delicious, hearty, and simple chicken congee that you can make all in your rice cooker. I think the prep time for this might be as low as 5 minutes!

I’m realizing how many dishes I use to dislike because my family prepared them really plainly. We’d have zero soup base hotpot (YEAH. as in PLAIN WATER), and also plain white congee. It took years to finally enjoy many of these dishes and with congee, the turning point was when I started working at my last tech job where we (very fortunately) had breakfast served in the mornings with eggs, sausage, bacon, and randomly… the most incredible chicken congee I ever tasted.

This is my easy version of that delicious chicken congee I had almost every morning!

Ingredients:

- 1 lb chicken thighs (450g)
- 1 inch, ginger (40g)
- 2 green onions, diced (30g)
- 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder (5g)
- 4 cups chicken stock or bone broth (960g)
- 1 cup rice (150g)

Toppings:

- Sesame Oil, to taste
- White Pepper Powder, to taste
- Green Onions, to taste

Could I conceivably make this at night and eat it in the morning or will weird things happen to the congee if I wait that long

My gramma made me plain congee for breakfast every morning as a kid T.T — it wasn’t until undergrad that I had my first bowl of not-plain congee (life changing 🤤)

[soupinabox]

why do i need chicken broth and powdered chicken broth? cant i just use the just powder instead?

[Sulivan]

Do you think it would work in an instant pot? I dont have a rice cooker

[maureeng]

[peachypandalove]

[Cozyasual]

We have a version of it called arroz caldo. I missed it. I think your recipe is close to it.
