Congee With Mustard Greens Recipe

	Pascale / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago A friend recently made this rice congee. He substituted mustard greens for the bok choy and I think that's the way to go -- much more flavorful. You could also do a combination of the two. Prep:5m Cook:75m Servings:5	Pascale

Ingredients

1/2 cup long-grain white rice

1/4 cup glutinous rice

8 1/2 cups cold water

1/2-3/4 lb. mustard greens (or one large head of bok choy, leaves and stalks separated)

1 1/2 tsp. salt (or more)

2 tbs. soy sauce, low sodium

1 pinch white pepper

1 slice fresh ginger to taste

1 tsp. scallion oil (peanut oil infused with green onions)

Directions

Place both kinds of rice in a large pot. Wash rice under water 3 times, rubbing between hands then draining each time.

Return rice to pot, add water, cover and bring to boil. Leave lid open a crack.

Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours stirring occasionally to prevent rice from sticking to bottom of pot. Cook until rice thickens almost to consistency of porridge.

As rice is cooking, wash mustard greens (or bok choy). Cut into 1/4-by-4-inch slices.

About 7 minutes before rice is completely cooked, add the salt, soy sauce, pepper, bok choy stalks (if using bok choy) and ginger.

Mix together thoroughly and bring congee to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, add the mustard greens (and/or bok choy leaves) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer.

Turn off heat, then add scallion oil and stir well into mixture.

Serve hot. 4 to 6 servings.

This sounds delicious. I immediately associate it with comfort food because of a recipe that Baron shared with me when I was sick. His mum used to make him a chicken congee, and it always sounds so darned good.

I love the greens! I would never have though of this.

Same here. I didn't know it was called congee. We always called it mush....and I've just recently discovered I love mustard greens... This must be a sign from the universe.

It's also referred to as "Jook." It is a sign, Baron. It is...

So.....what is Jooky Juice? Because I have some in my inventory and understanding of the Jooky has escaped me thus far.

Jooky is the nickname of a woman I know. Maybe she makes the juice. No wait, she's in RL not SL. I have met a Pookah...

I cannot imagine what it must be like to have to rifle through your inventory. Hmmm, perhaps this is my new excuse for not yet embarking on that undertaking called content creation.
