Congee Base

Method

Prepare the Congee Base

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a large pot, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the rice breaks down and the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.

Prepare the Stuffed Cabbage

  1. 4

    Prepare the Cabbage

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and place the head in the boiling water for 5 minutes to soften the leaves.

  2. 5

    Make the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potato, chopped maitake mushrooms, and chopped green garlic. Season with black pepper and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the potatoes are slightly tender.

  3. 6

    Stuff the Cabbage

    Once the cabbage leaves are softened, carefully peel off 8-10 leaves. Place a spoonful of the potato and mushroom mixture in the center of each leaf, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.

  4. 7

    Cook the Cabbage Rolls

    In a large pot, place the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down. Add a splash of water, cover the pot, and steam for about 20 minutes until the cabbage is tender.

Combine and Serve

  1. 8

    Serve the Congee

    Once the congee is ready, ladle it into bowls. Place the steamed stuffed cabbage rolls on top.

  2. 9

    Garnish

    Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before serving.
