Ingredients
Method
Start the congee
Bring the rice and about ten cups of water to the boil, then drop to a bare simmer, stirring occasionally so it does not catch.
10 min
Simmer
Cook for 45-60 minutes until the grains have broken down and the congee is thick and creamy.
60 min
Add the pork
Add the pork and ginger in the last 15 minutes so the meat stays tender.
15 min
Serve
