Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Wooden spoon or spatula
  • 4 Bowls for serving

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup jasmine rice Rinse under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1 cup corn kernels Can be fresh, frozen, or canned.
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 units green onions, sliced For garnish.
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • optional fresh cilantro For garnish.

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear to remove excess starch for a smoother texture.
  • In the Instant Pot, combine the rinsed rice, vegetable broth, corn kernels, soy sauce, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  • Close the lid of the Instant Pot, ensuring the vent is set to the sealing position. Select the 'Rice' setting or manually set it to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  • Once the cooking cycle is complete, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes, then carefully switch to quick release to release any remaining pressure.
  • Open the lid and stir the congee. If it’s too thick, add a bit more vegetable broth or water to reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the congee hot, garnished with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro if desired.
  • For added flavor, consider incorporating other toppings such as sesame oil, chili oil, or sautéed vegetables.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a little extra liquid as needed.
  • Experiment with different grains such as quinoa or millet for a variation in texture.
