Instructions

  • Rinse the rice under cold water. Place into a saucepan with the water. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the chicken, ginger garlic, and scallions. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until very creamy and thickened for about 35 - 40 minutes. Once done, remove from the heat, stir in soy sauce, salt and sesame oil. Remove the chicken and shred. Then stir it into the congee.
  • Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then add to the skillet and cook gently, stirring continuously, until softly scrambled. Remove from heat.
  • Combine berries in a bowl and sprinkle with chia seeds.
  • Heat water until just before simmering. Remove from the heat and steep the green tea 3 - 5 minutes. Remove tea.
  • Portion congee and serve with scrambled eggs, berries with chia seeds, and green tea.
