Miso Egg Congee Recipes

Steps:

• If miso was in fridge, take it out first to let it soften.
• It will be easier for you to scoop later.
• Wash rice.
• If you wish, soak the rice, but I did not do so.
• In a pan, put the rice and water to a boil.
• Water should be put in as desired.
• Let the rice boil for about 17 minutes.
• Stir constantly during this period.
• While the rice is cooking on the stove, beat egg and add it in at 20 minutes.
• let the rice boil a bit while you add it in gradually, so that it does not stick to the pan.
• Finally add miso, but do not let it boil.
• And you now have your nutritiously balanced meal.

Steps:

• First make the soy eggs. Bring a small pan of water to the boil and add the eggs. Boil for 6 mins, then lift the eggs out with a slotted spoon and place in cold water and leave to cool. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs.
• In a small bowl mix the soy with the sugar, stirring well so that the sugar dissolves. Pour in 75ml water then add the eggs and leave in the soy mixture for at least 2 hours. You may need to put a little weight, or small plate on top of the eggs to keep them submerged, as they'll be bobbing around.
• Next, make the congee. Place the rice in a small bowl and wash in running cold water until the water turns clear and doesn't look milky. Add the chicken stock and the rice to a medium saucepan, bring to the boil then cook for 25 mins at a gentle simmer. If necessary, top up with a little water. You want it to be soupy, like a wet risotto.
• When the rice is cooked, season to taste and stir in the shredded chicken and chopped ginger. Add the butter to the pan, and stir until it is fully melted and incorporated.
• Remove the eggs from the soy mixture and cut in half. Divide the congee between 2 bowls. Scatter over the chopped spring onions and crushed peanuts. Top with the soy egg halves and a sprig of coriander. Drizzle the sriracha over and finish with a spoonful of the soy egg marinade.
