6 simple ingredients & 6 easy steps to make this comforting Chicken Congee Instant Pot. Frugal, healthy & easy one pot meal that is perfect for those busy days
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (173 g) Jasmine rice (using standard 250 ml cup)
- 6.5 – 7 cups cold water (using standard 250 ml cup)
- 5 – 6 chicken drumsticks
- 1 tablespoon ginger, sliced into strips
- Green onions for garnish
- Salt to taste
Directions
| 1 | Rinse 173g (3/4 standard cup) of rice in the pot under cold water by gently scrubbing the rice with your fingertips in a circling motion. Pour out the milky water, and continue to rinse until water is clear. Drain well. |
| 2 | Add ginger, 5-6 chicken drumsticks and 6.5 – 7 cups of cold water (using standard 250 ml cup) into the pot. Do not add salt at this point. (The ratio is 1 cup rice to 9 – 9.75 cups of water) |
| 3 | Close the lid immediately and cook at high pressure for 30 minutes + Natural Release in an Electric Pressure Cooker. |
| 4 | Open the lid carefully. The congee will look watery at this point. |
| 5 | Heat up the pot (Instant Pot: press Sauté button), stir until desired thickness & consistency. Season with salt. |
| 6 | Use tongs and fork to separate the chicken meat from the bones (they literally fall off the bone) and remove the chicken bones and skin (if desired). |
| 7 | Remove congee from heat and garnish with green onions. |
| 8 | Serve immediately. |
