My Simple Con gee aka Porridge

I love eating Porridge. As I love eating the smooth Porridge. Always wonder how to make it.
I search around and I found the working method and faster way to cook my con gee.

How to make a smooth white con gee.
  1. Soaks the rice minimum half an hour before you boil it, drop a little oil to the rice so it does not stick together.
  2. Boiled the water, usually the water is triple than the rice ratio, if you would like a watery con gee , you can add more , or the other way around
  3. add in your rice and let it cook until boiled, turn down the heat to the lowest heat.
  4. boiled for 20 minutes and the rice will be seen as started to break
  5. Start to stir continuously for 10 minutes
  6. You will find the con gee texture become smooth and thick as all the rice has break equally
  7. If you found it is not smooth enough, cook for 10 minutes and stir for another 10 minutes.
  8. At last you will get your white smooth con gee. You can keep it , or you can later add in any other ingredient and boil for 5 minutes.
Tips:
  • Half an hour is just the minimum time to soak the rice, the longer time you soaks , the rice easily cooked and break
  • Oil make the con gee become smoother
  • Always watch out if the con gee is stick at the bottom of your pot, make sure you stir it and keep it to become overcook and burn

My recipe of today

I have boiled my chicken carcass soup and kept in the fridge.

  1. Scallop should be soak for overnight to get it become soft as it is dried scallop.
  2.  Heat up the chicken soup , if the chicken soup is not enough just add on water
  3. Add in Scallop to boil for 10 minutes.
  4. Bring the soup to boiled, add in the soaks rice.
  5. Cook as per above con gee recipe
