Chinese Thick Rice Soup Recipe
One of our FAVOURITES!
List of Ingredients
1 cup Long Grain Rice
1 cup Glutinous Rice
5-6 cups Vegetable Stock(I freeze my Veggie stock and use it for soups, stews & Congee)
2-3 Packets of Chicken OXO
1 lb. Ground Chicken
2 medium onions finely chopped and saute do not fry
2 tbsp. Dark Soy Sauce
Big Splash of Maggi
2 Green Onion Stalks
12 Water Chestnuts
*I add 3 tsp. of minced/chopped prepared Chinese garlic
and we like to use Thai Style Garlic Chilli Sauce as one of many condiments.Recipe
I prepare our Congee in my Crock Pot on a high setting. This will last my husband and myself an entire weekend, beginning Friday night. We happen to love it any time of the year!
Rinse rice 2 or 3 times. Soak for 1-2 hours. Rinse thoroughly and thinly slice green onions and water chestnuts. You can either use the green onions and water chestnuts as a garnish or mix with ground chicken, soy sauce and Maggi. Bring stock and rice to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer for 5-6 hours or until the rice breaks down completely and the soup becomes thick and creamy. I like to make small meatballs with the ground chicken mixture and saute, then add the shaped ground chicken balls to the rice soup(congee). Cook for 5 minutes. Correct seasoning. Serve in individual soup bowls. Pass the condiments around for each person to choose his or her favourite toppings. We like Nam-Yuey in ours! You can make this ahead of time and reheat. You can also use chicken slices, ground beef, beef slices, fish filets or ham slices. Condiments which you can use: Sesame oil, White Pepper, Sriracha Chili Sauce, Green Onions, Chinese Parsley (Cilantro), tea melon (sweet cucumber), Szechwan turnips, Deep Fried Devils(Yao Ja Guai, which are small fried dough fritter sticks)- we like to call them chop stick fritters, NAM-YUEY!
