Steps:

• Rinse the rice until the water runs just about clear.
• Mix everything together in a slow cooker. Cook on high for 5 hours or low on 8 hours.
• When the congee is done, remove the ginger and garlic clove. Take the chicken out. The meat will be falling off the bones, so try to do it gently. Remove the skin and bones, then shred the meat. Mix the shredded chicken back into the congee. You can also reserve some shredded chicken to top on each bowl. If you like thinner congee, add in additional water.
• Serve into bowls and top with desired toppings.

CHICKEN CONGEE

Steps:

• Rinse and drain the rice.
• Put the rice in a pot with the chicken stock and bring to boil. Give the rice a good stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking, then lower the heat and half-cover the pan. Simmer gently for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes, until the grains have burst open and you have a thick congee. Keep an eye on the pot to make sure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom. Toward the end of cooking, when the stock has become integrated with the rice and is the consistency of oatmeal, season lightly with salt to taste.
• Serve the congee with a sprinkling of soy sauce, spring onion and ginger and a few drops of sesame oil to taste.
