Critical Success Points

  • Rinsing the rice until water runs clear
  • Stirring frequently during the 15‑minute boil to prevent sticking
  • Allowing the congee to rest twice (30 min and 10 min) for proper gelatinization
  • Adding vegetables only after the rice has softened
  • Seasoning at the end and optional sesame oil addition

Safety Warnings

  • Handle boiling water and hot pot with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • Be careful when adding vegetables to a boiling pot; splashes can occur.
