Notes
Add a sliced hard boiled egg to the top of your congee for some extra flair and a protein boost. If you can’t live without spice then sprinkle some chilli flakes, add chilli oil or try adding kimchi!
NOTE – Do not exceed the maximum capacity of your rice cooker.
How much water should I add? Some sources say 1:8 some say 1:6 some say 1:10. If I was the same consistency as the pic, how much water should I add to 1 cup of rice?
Hi Tamara, you might have marks on your rice cooker inner bowl for porridge, if you do use these for the water levels (so for 1 cup, fill water to the 1 mark on the porridge lines). If you don’t have lines on the bowl, to get the same consistency in the photo use 1:6 ratio of rice to water. So 1 rice cooker measuring cup of rice to 6 rice cooker measuring cups of water.
I’m slightly confused because your picture and video shows the water level (in the Tsuki which is what I have) going up to porridge level 1/2? But your words say level 1….
Hi Daniela, the congee recipe is a general recipe written for larger rice cookers. Our video demonstration happens to have been filmed in Tsuki which is a lower capacity rice cooker. If you look at the yield at the top right of the recipe, you can change this to half and it will display the correct ingredients for Tsuki.
Point 5 says add chicken stock but there’s no chicken stock listed in the ingredients except for the marinade.
Hi Portia, we have clarified the recipe, thank you for pointing that out.
What is the water level for Sakura model?
Hi David, you need to use the marks on the bowl for porridge for cooking in Sakura. There is a recipe in your user manual as well
