Method
0 of 6 done- Rinse the rice well until the water runs mostly clear. Put it in a small saucepan with the water and salt, then bring it to a gentle boil over a medium heat.
- Lower the heat so the liquid stays at a steady simmer. Cook, stirring now and then and scraping the base of the pan, until the rice has broken down and the congee is soft and thick enough to spoon.
- While the rice cooks, pat the tofu dry and cut it into small cubes. Trim the spring onion and slice it thinly, then peel and grate or finely chop the ginger.
- Warm the olive oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Add the tofu and cook until lightly golden on the outside, turning the pieces as needed.
- Stir the ginger into the congee for the final few minutes of cooking. Taste and adjust with black pepper and a little more salt if needed.
- Spoon the congee into a bowl. Top with the tofu and spring onion, then finish with the soy sauce and serve at once.
