How to Make Brown Rice Congee with Stir-Fried Herbs

Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Fill a large pot with the water. Add the rice, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and continue to cook until the rice grains break down and the soup thickens, about 1 hour.
-
Meanwhile in a small skillet over high heat, add the oil and stir-fry the ginger, scallions, and chilies until fragrant and lightly golden, 30-45 seconds. Add the cilantro and continue to stir-fry until just wilted, about 30 seconds more. Transfer to bowl.
-
Ladle some congee into 6 individual bowls, and top each with about 1 Tbsp. of stir-fried herbs. Mix the herbs into the porridge to distribute the flavors. Serve.
