1/2 pound ground pork

1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (about 1 small clove)

1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine

1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil

2 scallions, chopped (optional)

1/2 cup short grain rice, washed and drained

About 1 cup corn kernels cut from 1 large ear of corn

In a medium bowl, combine pork, ginger, garlic, Shaoxing wine, salt, sugar, soy sauce, cornstarch, and oil. Mix until well combined and set aside in refrigerator.

In a large pot, add 6 cups water (1.4L) and rinsed rice. Cover pot with a lid, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer. After 15 minutes, stir rice, making sure it’s not sticking to the bottom then cover pot. Stir rice 15 minutes after the first stir, cover pot, and cook until congee is creamy and silky, about 30 minutes.

Add ground pork, breaking up meat into small bits, and continue to cook with lid off until ground pork is cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes.

Off-heat, add corn and season with salt to taste. Garnish with scallions, if using, and serve immediately. Notes You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground pork, or leave out the meat entirely.
