Congee With Pork - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup short grain rice
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
7 oz boneless pork chops, thinly sliced
1/3 cup unsalted, roasted peanuts
1 None long red chili pepper, thinly sliced
4 None green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
None None Soy sauce and sesame oil, for drizzling

Preparation

Place rice, salt and 8 cups water in a large saucepan on medium heat. Bring to boil, stirring often. Reduce heat a little, if necessary, to keep rice at a brisk simmer. Half-cover with lid, so congee doesn't bubble up and spill over. Cook for 30-40 mins, until rice is very soft and there is little distinction between liquid and solid.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a wok or large skillet on medium heat. Stir-fry garlic and pork for 3-4 mins, until browned and cooked through. Stir into congee and season to taste.
Place remaining ingredients in piles on a platter, with soy sauce and sesame oil to side. To serve, ladle congee into soup bowls and let everyone help themselves to garnishes.
