Method
Preparation of Base
- 1
Rinse the Rice
In a fine-mesh sieve, rinse the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Cook the Rice
In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice and 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the rice has broken down and the mixture has thickened to a porridge-like consistency.

Prepare Toppings
While the congee is cooking, prepare your toppings. Chop the scallions, grate the ginger, and soft-boil the eggs by placing them in boiling water for 6-7 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
