Cooking the Congee
Prepare the Rice
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice and water (or chicken broth). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Simmer
Reduce heat to low and let simmer uncovered for about 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the rice has broken down and the mixture is creamy.
Season
Once the congee reaches your desired consistency, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving the Congee
Add Toppings
Ladle the congee into bowls and top with chopped green onions, soft-boiled eggs, pickled vegetables, a drizzle of soy sauce, sesame oil, and fresh cilantro.
