The base of the slurry uses both long brown grain and grain rice short-short white grain white rice adds smoothness and body while the brown rice adds a hazelnut flavor and the abundance of nutrition.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 inch of ginger fee coin, peeled and cut in thin slices
1 shallot, in thin slices
1/4 short cup of white grain rice
1/2 cup long brown grain rice
4 1/2 Cups Low Sodium Chicken Bouillon or Water
1/2 C SEL Kosher
1 frozen cup EdaMame shelled
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
3 1/2 Oz Maitake, Shiitake or Enoki Mushrooms
1 tablespoon of soy sauce, to taste
1 tablespoon of grilled sesame oil, to taste
How to do it
- In a pot or Dutch thick bottom, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ginger and shallot and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add brown and white rice and cook, stirring constantly for a minute. Add chicken broth and salt. Lower fire, cover half pan and cook for about 1 to 1 1/2 hour or until creamy and thick rice.
- Turn off the heat and incorporate the edamame and chicken.
- Just before serving, heating the 1 tablespoon of olive oil remaining in a large nonstick stove over medium-high heat; Make sure you choose a saucepan which is large enough for fungi in a single layer without clutter. Once the oil shimbs, add the mushrooms and cook without stirring for about 5 minutes or until brown and crisp on the bottom. Return mushrooms and cook until the other side is crisp, too.
- Divide the congee between 2 to 4 bowls, depending on the size of the portions you want, and water uniformly with soy sauce.
- Garnish with crispy mushrooms and water sesame oil on top.
