Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup long grain white rice
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
5 cups water
½ pound boneless pork loin roast
1 ½ teaspoons oyster sauce
1 salted (hard-cooked) duck egg, chopped
1 hundred-year egg, minced
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, thinly sliced
½ cup chopped green onion
ground black pepper to taste
soy sauce to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse and drain the rice, and place in a large pot. Stir in the salt and oil, and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Add the pork to the rice, and stir in the water. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. Remove the pork from the pot with a slotted spoon, and set aside. Continue to simmer the rice for 20 minutes. Chop the pork into small cubes, and mix with the salted egg and hundred-year egg.
  • After the 20 minutes are up, stir the pork and egg mixture back into the congee along with the oyster sauce. Serve in bowls, and garnish with ginger and green onion. Have soy sauce and pepper on the side for seasoning.

Not a fan of this recipe. The congee was bland and the pork was dry. I think I'll stick to my usual congee recipe.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The congee was watery and tasteless, and the pork was tough and chewy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I had high hopes for this recipe, but unfortunately it didn't turn out as expected. The congee was too thick and the pork was a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked it. Will try again with some modifications.

This congee was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more ginger and green onions next time. The pork was cooked well though, and the overall texture was good.

I've tried many congee recipes, but this one is by far the best. The congee was smooth and silky, and the pork was incredibly tender. I also loved the addition of the century eggs. Highly recommend!

Just made this for dinner and it was delicious! I used jasmine rice instead of long grain and it still came out perfect. The pork was so tender and flavorful. Will definitely be making this again!
