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.
