INSTANT POT CHICKEN AND RICE CONGEE

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 package of costco chicken thighs (no bone)
  • 7 cups water
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 teaspoon of ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • soy sauce – for serving
  • sesame oil – for serving
  • green onions (scallions) – for serving (about 3)


INSTRUCTIONS

  • Combine water, rice, frozen chicken, and ginger in the pot
  • Set insta pot on normal porridge setting, let it start
  • Use Natural Release when the cycle is done
  • Open the lid very carefully. Remove the chicken pieces into a bowl and shred (I usually save about 1/2 cup of this to feed my very spoiled dogs). The congee may seem watery.
  • Use the SAUTÉ function, and cook, stirring the congee until your desired thickness. The congee will thicken as you stir it. It will also continue to thicken as it cools a bit.
  • Add the chicken meat back into the congee as well as a splash of sesame oil and soy sauce for flavor. Finely slice the green onions for garnish. 
  • Turn off the Instant Pot. Taste and add salt, as needed. Ladle the congee into bowls and top with green onions.
