Number Of Ingredients 3

miso, to taste
1 egg
1/4-1/2 cup rice

Steps:

  • If miso was in fridge, take it out first to let it soften.
  • It will be easier for you to scoop later.
  • Wash rice.
  • If you wish, soak the rice, but I did not do so.
  • In a pan, put the rice and water to a boil.
  • Water should be put in as desired.
  • Let the rice boil for about 17 minutes.
  • Stir constantly during this period.
  • While the rice is cooking on the stove, beat egg and add it in at 20 minutes.
  • let the rice boil a bit while you add it in gradually, so that it does not stick to the pan.
  • Finally add miso, but do not let it boil.
  • And you now have your nutritiously balanced meal.

Categories     Breakfast, Brunch, Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

100g sushi rice
500ml fresh chicken stock
100g cooked, shredded chicken , preferably leg meat (using leftovers is great)
25g butter
a thumb-sized piece of ginger , finely chopped
2 spring onions , thinly sliced
25g roasted peanuts , crushed
small handful coriander
sriracha , to serve
2 eggs
300ml soy sauce
1 tbsp granulated sugar

Steps:

  • First make the soy eggs. Bring a small pan of water to the boil and add the eggs. Boil for 6 mins, then lift the eggs out with a slotted spoon and place in cold water and leave to cool. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs.
  • In a small bowl mix the soy with the sugar, stirring well so that the sugar dissolves. Pour in 75ml water then add the eggs and leave in the soy mixture for at least 2 hours. You may need to put a little weight, or small plate on top of the eggs to keep them submerged, as they'll be bobbing around.
  • Next, make the congee. Place the rice in a small bowl and wash in running cold water until the water turns clear and doesn't look milky. Add the chicken stock and the rice to a medium saucepan, bring to the boil then cook for 25 mins at a gentle simmer. If necessary, top up with a little water. You want it to be soupy, like a wet risotto.
  • When the rice is cooked, season to taste and stir in the shredded chicken and chopped ginger. Add the butter to the pan, and stir until it is fully melted and incorporated.
  • Remove the eggs from the soy mixture and cut in half. Divide the congee between 2 bowls. Scatter over the chopped spring onions and crushed peanuts. Top with the soy egg halves and a sprig of coriander. Drizzle the sriracha over and finish with a spoonful of the soy egg marinade.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Short-grain white rice, like Japanese rice, is the best choice for congee. It cooks up soft and creamy, and it has a slightly sticky texture that helps to thicken the congee.
  • Soak the rice before cooking: Soaking the rice for 30 minutes before cooking helps to soften it and reduce the cooking time. This also helps to remove some of the starch from the rice, which makes the congee less sticky.
  • Use a good quality miso paste: The type of miso paste you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the congee. Look for a miso paste that is made with whole soybeans and has a rich, savory flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When you're cooking the congee, don't overcrowd the pot with too much rice. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly and it will make the congee too thick.
  • Stir the congee frequently: Stirring the congee frequently while it's cooking helps to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and it also helps to incorporate the miso paste evenly.
  • Season the congee to taste: Once the congee is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and additional miso paste if desired.

Conclusion:

Miso egg congee is a delicious and hearty breakfast or dinner option. It's easy to make and it's packed with flavor. With its creamy texture and savory flavor, miso egg congee is sure to become a favorite in your household.
