I don’t use the term life changing lightly, but this rice porridge recipe fits the bill. It’s a one pot, effortless, green, nutrient-packed twist on one of my favorite things to eat -congee. Moreover wontedly referred to as rice porridge. This version incorporates a lot of chopped spinach. A lot. Enough spinach that your soul will notice.
The Cooking Method
I make this porridge in an Instant Pot. You can moreover make it in a thick-bottomed pot on the stovetop – no Instant Pot necessary. Although, that method requires increasingly babysitting. Similar to this Instant Pot Congee with Brown Rice and Turmeric, you put your rice into the pot, add water or broth, walk away, and start irreflective well-nigh toppings.
Let’s Talk well-nigh Toppings
Here you see lime, crushed kale fries and toasted nori, toasted pumpkin seeds (or pepitas), hemp seeds, and jungle peanuts. The tofu is sliced thinly, drizzled with shoyu, and draped over the porridge. Sometimes I spike the whole situation with sriracha sauce, sometimes I don’t.
Getting the Rice Porridge Just Right
I’ve settled on a ratio of brown rice to white rice that works really well. You’ll see that reflected in the recipe. It’s one part white jasmine rice to two parts brown jasmine rice. You can optionally pepper that rice tousle with 1/4 cup of other quick cooking grains or pulses if you like – French lentils, adzuki beans, Job’s tears, etc. Or not, totally your call!
I know I say this often, but finger self-ruling to use this recipe and ratio as a jumping off point. Next time I might add a tuft of chopped herbs, and use flipside favorite broth in place of water. I often spike the rice tousle with a scoop of quinoa.
I hope you love this rice porridge! It’s nutrient-packed and green. Simple to make. Made with whole foods. Delicious unendingly of day. One pan magic. And, the perfect hearty, satisfying canvas to load up with your favorite toppings.
Lastly, for anyone looking for increasingly Instant Pot recipe inspiration, I’ve set up an Instant Pot recipe category – all my favorite successes are featured there.
