I love congee! Do you just use a pressure cooker on the rice until it’s a mash? How do you incorporate the mushrooms? Or, do you use a blender?
Hi Abigail,
Fun stuff!!!
I just updated the recipe, so hopefully your questions have been answered (I was waiting to pick Tim’s brain
I think a pressure cooker would be a great, but towards the end it’s good to add a bit more water and make smaller adjustments in stages.. I’m sure you could plan it out though. There is no need to use a blender after the initial breaking-up of the rice, unless you prefer a very smooth consistency! I have actually used dehydrated instant-congee powders from Thailand which were pretty satisfying when fresh ginger and shallots were added, and that was definitely a uniform mash. Amazing how satisfying a simple mash can be when you’re sick.
By the way, congratulations on your exciting website and videos! I look forward to learning more delicious, seasonal recipes @ Eating With Abs
