Description

We are particularly fond of congee for breakfast so setting up the crockpot the night before means we have a great hot breakfast in the morning. Congee is endlessly adaptable - vegan, vegetarian, seafood or meat options. You could even do a sweet version (like oatmeal) if you prefer.

    For the base
  • 1 cup jasmine rice ((or 1/3c short grain brown rice and 2/3c jasmine rice))
  • 10 cups water (or a combination of water and veg or chicken stock)

  • dried shrimp, scallops and/or mushrooms (optional)
  • Possible Toppings
