Instructions

1

Rinse the rice: Place the rice in a large strainer or colander and rinse it under cool water. The water running through the rice will usually look milky at first, but will then become clearer. It's fine if there's still some haze in the water.
2

Combine the ginger, rice and cooking liquid in the instant pot. If you're using any chicken (bone in recommended) add now. Don't add salt.
3

Close the lid immediately and cook at high pressure for 30 minutes + Natural Release in an Electric Pressure Cooker.
4

Open the lid carefully. The congee will look watery at this point.
5

Heat up the pot (Instant Pot: press SautÃ© button), stir until desired thickness & consistency. Season with salt. 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).
6

Serve the congee: Ladle the congee into individual bowls and garnish with whatever toppings you like.
