Congee for the Instant Pot
Katatonickat @katatonickat
I love dim sum and my husband loves congee. So I decided I would make him some in the instant pot. Chillies in oil, sesame seasoning and voila.
Open in Cookpad AppCooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse 173g (3/4 standard cup) of rice in the pot under cold water by gently scrubbing the rice with your fingertips in a circling motion. Pour out the milky water, and continue to rinse until water is clear. Drain well. Peel onion and run under cold water so that if the onion is sharp it will not sting your eyes as much when you dice it.
- 2
Add finely chopped onion, minced ginger, minced garlic (I use a pampered chef to assist in my chopping as I am horrible with knives), 5-6 chicken drumsticks and 6.5 - 7 cups of cold water (using standard 250 ml cup) into the pot. Do not add salt at this point. (The ratio is 1 cup rice to 9 - 9.75 cups of water)
- 3
Close the lid on the instant pot and cook at high pressure for 30 minutes. Then do a Natural Release in the Instant Pot.
- 4
Open the lid carefully. The congee will look watery at this point. At this point, you could add the optional 2-3 cups cabbage. Stir in the shredded cabbage - it will wilt down and cook enough from the residual heat in the pot.
- 5
Heat up the pot (Instant Pot: press Sauté button), stir until desired thickness & consistency. Season with salt.
- 6
If needed, use tongs and fork to separate the chicken meat from the bones (they literally fall off the bone) and remove the chicken bones and skin (if desired). It is better to use chicken or meat with the bone in for nutrients and flavour but it is not a deal breaker if you do not.
- 7
Remove congee from heat and garnish with green onions. You can serve immediately. Please see notes for ideas of what to serve with congee.

Notes
You can easily customize the congee by adding toppings like crispy garlic, fried shallots, roasted salted peanuts, soy sauce, fish sauce, etc - 9
Keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in a 350F oven or in a pot on the stovetop.

I love the Chinese congee served in Chinatown.It's healthy and warms your body, too. I recommend serving it with walnuts.Chinese congee uses about 4 to 5 times more water than Japanese congee.I used 3 cups of water in this recipe, but you can add more water to adjust it to your desired consistency.Once you make it, you'll be able to memorize the recipe. You just need 1 bowl of rice, 3 cups of water, then 1 teaspoon each of salt, Chinese chicken stock granules, and sesame oil. It's so simple. Recipe by Orihime mama

Congee with Bitter Melon
Bitter Melon is nutritious, but has a strong flavor. It's the main reason why I believe mixing it with this specific comfort food dish COULD help a person overcome a cold.Take note that I am using a YumAsia brand rice cooker that has a porridge option. So how I am making this dish will be different from how you will be able to make it.I'm honestly posting this so that I remember how I made it when I get sick again~
Slow Cooker Chinese Porridge
In China, porridge is super popular as a breakfast item, especially at local breakfast shops. People usually pair it with baozi or steamed buns. Now, making porridge in a slow cooker isn’t the traditional way, but it makes things way easier, and it still tastes great! The light and comforting nature of porridge makes it a go-to for so many. Enjoy!

A comforting one bowl dish cooked in the rice cooker. Chop all vegetables to equal pieces for even cooking. You can add any veggies you like. I did not cook the chinese seaweed, instead I lay it at the bottom of the containers/bowls. You can also cook it together with the congee.
Turmeric Arroz Caldo - Chicken Congee | Filipino rice porridge
Turmeric, the miracle spice, is so "in" these days because of its health benefits. Since turmeric is already commonly added to steamed rice, why not add it to a congee (or lugaw in Filipino, or Arroz Caldo, or porridge)!The twist in this Chicken Arroz Caldo or lugaw recipe, aside from the Turmeric addition, is that I've pushed the "healthy" factor by using brown and red rice instead of white or sticky rice. Sounds good, hey? :)This dish is perfect for cold nights and rainy days. 😊

It was fun spending some time with Eriko this morning. She was hungry, so I thought it'd be a good idea to make a comforting breakfast to show her my appreciation for letting me stay in the house. The weather was springlike; the kitchen was filled with light, and from where I cooked I could see the beautiful sunlight. Porridge and some refreshing salad always made a perfect combo for a day like this. Eriko devoured it with enthusiasm!

Chicken & Noodles Instant Pot IP
So my daughter gifted me this Instant Pot. So here is a dish of some modified recipes I put together. And it turns out really good. The IP does cut the total time down, and it is pretty easy, and the results were really good. So, this is a good one if you have an IP. Really good flavors.This is very scaleable, double or even triple the recipe. Only have Frozen chicken, use it, everything the same.

I love rice. Not potatoes. So I am documenting my rice dish so someone else can make it for me.
Chicken Curry Stew Instant Pot IP
I am using chicken gizzards, but regular chicken can be used instead. This is not a proper curry (vindaloo in this case), but more a stew. Easy to make using curry paste. It was a little spicy as made (again using vindaloo which is spicy). This could be scaled up easily, and even other types of curry paste could be used. I'm still getting used to the instant pot, and made this as I would in a stove top pressure cooker, so I used too much liquid for the Instant Pot. I adjusted the recipe to account for that, however the pictures show the extra liquid, so take that into consideration.

Lentil Soup In Instant Pot!
My first attempt and turned out great. I did not measure anything, as usual, but I tried to include measurements here. I didn't have any carrots. But about 3 good sized carrots chopped nicely would do. Or some frozen. I just used ingredients I had on hand. Do as you like. Throw in what you please. This soup amazed me. So happy to share this. Bless.

Instant Pot Curry
This has been my go-to meal prep during quarantine. It’s healthy and makes a lot of food. I have the Instant Pot Ultra which allows me to sous vide the chicken, instructions for which I have included here. If your instant pot does not have the “Ultra” mode, you can of course cook the chicken any way you want; or you can leave it out and make this a veggie curry! But I would not recommend pressure cooking the chicken in the pot with the rest of the vegetables.
Noom Friendly Instant Pot Green Bean Jambalaya
The kids love this one and in true Instant Pot form, it is super easy and fast to do.If you want more heat, add an extra tbsp of paprika and/or swap in a spicier sausage. Also, if you want to be a little more traditional, swap out the green beans for parsley. I personally find green beans are a lot more convenient have on hand as they double as healthy snacks for the kids and keep longer in the fridge.
