Instructions

1
Combine rice, chicken broth, garlic, and sliced ginger in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer. Add whole chicken thighs.
2
Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 45–60 minutes until the rice breaks down completely and turns into a thick, porridge-like consistency. Stir more frequently toward the end as it thickens to prevent sticking — the stirring also helps break down the rice grains faster.
3
Remove chicken thighs and shred the meat into strands. Remove and discard the ginger slices. Return shredded chicken to the pot and stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper.
4
Serve in deep bowls and customize with toppings: sliced green onions, a drizzle of chili oil, crispy fried shallots, a halved soft-boiled egg, and sesame seeds. Congee is deeply comforting and endlessly customizable.
