Cinnamon Congee

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Soups
Congee is fundamentally a savoury dish, but its neutral flavour makes it a perfect canvas for sweet breakfasts too. Think of it as an Asian rice pudding, but with a much creamier, silkier texture. The rice is cooked here until it fully 'blooms' and absorbs the flavours of the cinnamon and honey.

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash the rice, then put it on to boil with the water, salt, and cinnamon stick. After boiling, reduce the heat to minimum.

Tip: Salt enhances sweet flavours; don't skip it!
2 ✓

Simmer covered for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice breaks down into a thick porridge.

Tip: The water absorption (swelling) of starch molecules causes the thickening.
3 ✓

Add the milk and cook for another 10 minutes until you reach the desired creaminess.

Tip: Milk is added at the end to preserve its fresh taste and prevent it from boiling over.
4 ✓

Remove the cinnamon stick and stir in the honey. Serve with walnuts and fruit.

Tip: Add the honey at the end, as prolonged boiling would destroy its valuable properties.
