Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Start the congee
- Grate or peel and finely chop enough ginger to measure 2 teaspoons [1 TBL].
In a medium [large] sauce pot, combine the ginger, rice, and 3½ cups [7 cups] water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot, until the rice has softened, 15 to 18 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables.
2
Prep the vegetables; cook the broccoli leaves and mushrooms
- Remove any coarse stems from the broccoli leaves; thinly slice the leaves.
- Trim the stem ends from the maitake mushrooms; separate the mushrooms into small clusters.
- Measure 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] tamari-sesame blend for the mushrooms; set aside the remaining blend for finishing the dish and serving.
- Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions on the diagonal for garnish.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the broccoli leaves, season with salt and pepper, and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
In the same pan over medium heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook, turning once, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] tamari-sesame blend.
3
Cook the remaining vegetables; finish the congee
When the rice has softened, add the mirepoix and edamame to the pot and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the rice has softened to a porridge-like consistency, 10 to 12 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and stir in the broccoli leaves and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] tamari-sesame blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the congee to individual bowls. Top with the mushrooms, scallions, fried shallots, and as much of the remaining tamari-sesame blend as you like and serve.
