Today I want to share the recipe of a cozy and comforting beef and carrot congee with you. Not only does it taste good, but it’s also easy to make!
Congee is essentially rice porridge. It can be made with white, brown or black rice, although white rice congee is the most common choice. You can dress up the plain congee with a range of savory or sweet toppings. It is considered the ultimate comfort food in China and typically enjoyed as breakfast.
This time, I am sharing a savory beef and carrot congee garnished with scallion.
To cook rice faster, I soaked rice in cold water for 30 minutes. Soaking rice isn’t the longer the better, half an hour is enough. Too long, will affect the flavor of the congee. After draining the rice, I mixed in half a tablespoon of oil. Coated the rice grain with oil is another way to shorten the cooking time.
To make congee with a silky texture, I have a couple of tips to share with you.
Follow these tips, making creamy and silky congee like below is a breeze.
Once the plain congee is ready, I added the ground beef and carrot into the pot, stirred to make sure there is no big clumps of beef and kept simmering until everything is cooked through.
Season with salt, garnish with scallion and whiter pepper, the beef and carrot congee is ready to be enjoyed!
Below is a recap of how I made this dish.
I hope you enjoy making beef and carrot congee. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!
