Some congee to warm your insides

Congee or rice porridge as it is also referred to, is a favorite dish by several of the FoodtokTV creators, who all make versions of it. Caz aka @cooking_with_caz used it as a base for his first Food Pantry Challenge recipe.

Congee with Hotdogs & Scallions

Ingredients for two serving:

• 2 oz long grain Rice 

• 3 cups of Water*

• 1-2 hotdogs

• Mrs Dash and any low sodium herb blend 

  *You can measure rice to liquid ratio easily by using 10 times liquid to the amount of rice

Preparation:

1. Rinse your rice until the water is no longer cloudy

2. Place in a pot, add water and, cover and simmer for 45 min, stirring every 10 min.

3. While rice cooks; dice up 1-2 hot dogs (you can also use ham, sausage etc) and fry until your preferred doneness.

4. Slice up some scallions

5. The congee is done once it is soft and has a “mush” like consistency. Very little water will remain. 

6. Plate in a bowl. You will want to serve this warm

7. Season with Mrs Dash and any low sodium herb blend (you can also season this during the cooking process if preferred)

8. Garnish with scallions and minced/fried hot dog
