Instant Pot Congee with Chicken and Mushrooms image

Congee, a Chinese dim sum staple, is a simple and hearty savory rice porridge simmered with aromatics and often served with seasonal vegetables and meat. Congee can be made with many types of grains, but we like quick cooking jasmine for its soft texture that easily breaks down into a porridge.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

7 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup jasmine rice
1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced into coins
1 leek, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (dark green parts separated)
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 ounces sliced shiitake mushrooms
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (about 12 ounces)
Soy sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine 4 cups chicken broth, the rice, ginger, white and light green parts of the leek and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 6-quart Instant Pot. Put on and lock the lid, making sure the steam valve is in the sealing position. Set the pot to pressure-cook on high for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the dark green parts of the leek and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the mushrooms are browned and the leeks are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Warm the remaining 3 cups chicken broth in the microwave.
  • When the time is up on the Instant Pot, carefully turn the steam valve to the venting position and let the steam release. Carefully unlock and remove the lid. Stir in 2 cups warm chicken broth. Set the Instant Pot to sauté on normal and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened to a porridge, 5 to 7 minutes. If the mixture thickens too much, stir in some of the remaining chicken broth. Season with salt, if needed.
  • Divide the congee among bowls. Top with the shredded chicken, mushroom-leek mixture and soy sauce.

This recipe was a disaster! The congee turned out lumpy and the chicken was dry. I won't be making this again.

The congee was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I'll add more water next time.

This congee was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more ginger and garlic next time.
