I made this two hours after I watched the video! Such a great dinner. I added garlic and broth and some veg too. Added to my weekly menu 🙏 thank you so much for sharing the recipe.
Thank you for this lovely soul-satisfying recipe. I love Kato! A smart dog- he always sniffs his food before he eats it! My dog Sammy has the same, above the eye's markings. I call them St Francis thumb prints. St Francis is the protector of animals and the environment. So dogs with these markings (in my view!) get an extra blessing! Thank you again- great recipe and instruction! 🕊️🕊️🕊️
I use broken rice, which comes out creamy in the IP after 30 min, no extra ten minutes of stirring over heat required. Ten minutes less of deferred gratification! It's my comfort food especially when I'm sick, but I like pork/century egg. Not so different. I came for the recipe and stayed for the doggo. My dog loves it when I make anything with chicken, hoping I have cartilage and skin for him!
I just made this and it turned out great. I made mine with half chicken stock half water for the liquid and used chicken thighs instead of drumsticks. Everything came out perfect just like the video. I topped mine with sesame seeds, soft boiled egg, kimchi, green onion, and carrots. Nice recipe!
Kimchi?? I hadn't thought about that as something to use for this but I very much do like the taste of it so I'll definitely have to try it. I don't have any at the moment but just put it on my shopping list
Love how you’re so straight to the point and dispense with any unnecessary fillers. Made this a few times already and every time I do, it always reminds me of when my mom made this for me when I was young.
Thank you so much for this easy way to make jook. My ex-husband is an ABC (American born Chinese for those that may not know what it stands for. IDK if its considered racist or not since he was the 1 who calls himself that. I don't think it is but if so just know I absolutely do not mean it that way at all. If anyone finds it offensive please tell me in a reply to this comment as I definitely wouldn't want to offend anyone) and we often would enjoy jook. He always made it so I really didn't know exactly how to do it. I've watched several different videos on how to do it and not 1 of them were the same lol. Yours looks the simplest and I'm giving it a go right now. I'm using up the left over dark meat turkey from Thanksgiving instead of chicken legs but I think it will taste, for the most part, the same. I didn't have any fresh ginger but I do have some frozen cubes of crushed ginger in the freezer so I'm using a couple of them instead. He would make the jook every year using the left over Thanksgiving turkey carcass and it became a tradition in our home. Since divorcing this year, if I want jook I need to make it myself. He did make a batch of it in 2019 and brought me a big container of it but somehow it just didn't seem quite the same. Probably because I didn't have the correct things to put on top of it. We would use chopped green onions, sesame oil, chili oil, white pepper, occasionally rehydrated dried Chinese mushrooms which I think are shiitake but I'm not positive about that and light soy sauce. I can't remember if there was something else he also prepared since those are the things I like in mine. Last year I asked him how to make jook and he did tell me but for some reason I can't recall what he told me and I don't want to keep pestering him about it so I decided to see what I could find on UA-cam. The way you're doing it seems the closest to what I do remember him telling me. Funny, after 17 years of marriage that jook would be 1 of the things I miss the most. We are still good friends, it was just that our lives were moving in different directions and divorce was the best for both of us. Again thanks so much for sharing and I will be sitting down to a nice bowl of jook this afternoon for my lunch and probably for dinner as well. I'll also be taking some of it to my daughter and her family. My 3 grandkids might like it too. I don't remember any of them trying it in the past so it will be a first for them. The oldest absolutely loves all things rice. The middle child doesn't like rice but may like this since it will be very similar in taste to her favorite, chicken and noodle soup. The youngest will eat just about anything that doesn't eat him first. 10 minutes to go now so wish me luck.
Hi Connie! I hope this recipe was to your standards. The base is very simple, but of course feel free to add mushrooms, chili oil, and any other toppings you enjoy with your congee/jook. Hope things look up for you this new year! 😊
@@tastylazycooking6165 it was perfect 👌. I've saved this video for future reference but it is so simple to make I don't even know if I'll actually need the recipe. Thanks!!
I just made it. Since the instant pot, I no longer have to stand over the stove for 3 hours! Also works with 3 cups of leftover white rice. I top with thinly sliced romaine, shiitakes, green onions, and a dash of soy on top.
I'm young but I love cooking. Trying out this recipe since I'm so inexperienced it seemed easy enough to make and good for a sensitive stomach. Looking forward to the outcome
Delicious. My sister sent this recipe to help me through chemo and it is very soothing. The texture and came out just as you showed. This is my first time making a congee and I really appreciated the simple recipe. I cut up a whole chicken because I like the extra bone flavour. I may add even more ginger and some garlic next time just because I love them.
Please stay away from chemo it's all a scam like all of big pharma! Focus on nutrition and natural medicine like Chinese medicine etc and give your body time, it can heal from anything, even stage 4 cancer. Also look up hydrogen peroxide, it kills cancer. But very censored information because of pharma
That looks so good! Making it in an instant pot seems like it would be great for when you’re feeling sick, since it doesn’t require you to do a whole lot. So gonna try this 🤤❤️
I know I already commented, but I just came back to say that I made this tonight, and we loved it! So easy and delicious, and perfect for when you're not feeling so great. Sadly, the store didn't have green onions, so we had to make do with what we had, but it was still pretty tasty! I have to admit, I'm not a huge ginger fan for the most part. I like the flavor it imparts to meals, but eating the ginger itself always kind of put me off. But I made it as you said to get a baseline for the recipe, and...it was sooo good! I wouldn't say I'm a ginger convert, but I'll be using it every time I make this. Thanks again!
I made this yesterday. Super yummy. It was my first InstantPot recipe too. I've been sick and this has been a part of my "get well cocktail". Next time I will add more salt at the start. Thanks for the video and I loved Kato.
@@tastylazycooking6165 Kato got lots of TLC in this recipe 😄 My sister described this recipe as "she used 8 drumsticks but I think half went to the dog." But the flavour of those drumsticks was still in the congee and the dog was very happy.
Your recipe was awesome, used chicken thighs instead of drumsticks but I needed to add way more salt (maybe that’s just me). Going to try using chicken stock next time. Thanks!
Ty for sharing your recipe!! I’ve been dying to make congee bc my mom always made it for me when I was younger (or sick). This looks similar to how my mom made it :) can’t wait to try it!
I bought the Instant Pot last week, and was pondering how to cook porridge, like how much water would i need? Your video was the first I saw and man, it was very easy to follow, and the porridge turned out very smooth and tasty. Instead of chicken, i added minced pork balls, and fried fish cake. Cooked the night before, and kept it warm for lunch the next day! This recipe is a time-safer! Next time, I'd try the chicken version that you did! :) Just one question. Is "cold water" really necessary? Will the texture of the porridge be smoother and creamier? I used water at room temperature, and am quite happy with the result.
I love your presentation! The one question I have is that a 6 or 8 quart instant pot? I. Have a 6 quart and that seems like it may be too much chicken for that size. Thanks
I love this recipe! I topped mine with green onions and a sautéed portobello mushroom, dash of liquid aminos, a capful of apple cider vinegar, a drizzle of sesame oil and then dried pork :) SO good!
"feels like a great big hug in a bowl" precisely. It's been a while since I made some and I just had my wisdom teeth removed. Chicken Congee beats any recipe for chicken noodle soup.
You prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
You don't need to peel the ginger, the skin is full of goodness. Buy organic ginger and you just have to wash away any dirt on it. You are also washing all the nutrition in the rice, that milky water contains the most nutritious part of the rice.
Do you know what the 'porridge' button does on Instant Pot? On some models it's labelled as 'Congee' instead. When I press mine, it just sets IP to high pressure with a 20 minute timer (too short), but not sure if it does anything clever beyond that, or its just meant to be a shortcut
Mine just says porridge and I have no clue about any of the buttons on my IP. All they seem to be are what you said, shortcuts that don't seem to do anything but preset the time and temp. I do however use the yogurt button and as far as I can tell that button only let's the IP get to the correct temperature to make the yogurt since it doesn't need to be hot but rather just kept warm for an extended period of time which is 8 hours for the way I like mine. If you like yogurt and haven't made it yourself I would encourage you to give it a try. For easy directions just search UA-cam for IP yogurt. Theres a particular kind of milk to use that doesn't require you to do anything but add a couple of tablespoons of plain yogurt as a started. After you make your first batch just save a couple of tablespoons of it for the started of the next batch. It reminds me a lot of how some ppl have sourdough started in their fridge. I will take my fresh batch and put it in the fridge for a few hours to get cold then strain it through cheese cloth to remove most of the whey because I prefer mine to be very thick but this is not necessary if you don't mind your yogurt on the thinner side. I will sweeten it with honey by the bowl when ready to eat rather than sweetening the entire batch since some like it sweeter than others. I often will add fruit and occasionally some granola or muesli. This is good for any meal or snack in my house and its far less expensive and far healthier than store bought yogurt. I do hope you will give it a try. Hope you're having a nice day and God bless.
Absolutely! There will be less chicken to conger ratio though. Or if you want a higher chicken to congee ratio, I'd use 7 cups of water and 3/4 cups of rice :)
I followed largely your recipe without the saute at the end. Instead, I delayed the release for 10 minutes. Results was great. However, I'd caution against filling the pot up to the PC Max line like in the video. I had it an inch below that line against my better judgement and still made a huge mess when I released the knob.
I am still learning how to use the Instant Pot that I purchased lately and wanted to make Congee, there is a function for Porridge on the Instant Pot, can I use that function instead of cooking manually?
It seems like all the videos I have watched use jasmine rice, brown rice,, medium grain rice and so on. I have sushi rice and basmati rice on hand. Also no chicken thawed out. I do have unsalted beef stock I made two days ago. Yes I do realize it would make the congee beef flavored but I'm ok with that. I'd really like to find a instant pot Congee recipe using sushi rice.
When I was growing up, my mom taught me to mix sticky rice and regular rice for better texture, and sushi rice actually already has the texture you're trying to accomplish with that old trick so it's great for congee! I'm not sure if you would have to change the water amount though.
One of my favourite dishes. My friend is Chinese but he hates congee and says I am more Chinese than he is... I am not Chinese... Ah I do have 2% Chinese DNA 🙂
I believe this happened at a different time. I don't think she fed the dog and then went right back to cooking. I can't imagine she would let the dog lick her fingers then put her unwashed hands back in the food. Not everyone actually washes their hands on camera but YES if these events actually happened in the order presented in the video it is rather disgusting.
@@babygrandma8654 You're absolutely right! I always wash my hands with soap and water after feeding my dog. I just don't put it in the video to save time 😊👍
This comment is a bit late, but I don't think it's very hygienic to feed a dog by hand, even though it makes for cute content. It's just not the most sanitary option.
Nothing turns me off more is when they are about to cook a meal and they give the dog something to eat and then letting the dog like their finger like seriously where's the hygiene. I love animals but I'm sorry for and animal saliva don't mix

can I use half chicken broth and half water rather than the 9 cups of water?

If I only have 5 drumsticks, does it still needs 9 cups of water and one cup of white rice? Thanks!

Hi how much rice and water did you use?
1 cup rice 9 cups water
I am still learning how to use the Instant Pot that I purchased lately and wanted to make Congee, there is a function for Porridge on the Instant Pot, can I use that function instead of cooking manually?
Hm, I'm not sure about this. But the manual function is pretty simple to use so I just always use it :)
Why not just leave the gingers on? Btw, don't we lose the vitamins by washing the rice until the water run clean?
i use a spoon to feel ginger too, its safer
You need to finish it off with some fish sauce, chile paste, sesame oil, and white pepper.
Yummm! All sound like amazing flavour enhancers!
It seems like all the videos I have watched use jasmine rice, brown rice,, medium grain rice and so on. I have sushi rice and basmati rice on hand. Also no chicken thawed out. I do have unsalted beef stock I made two days ago. Yes I do realize it would make the congee beef flavored but I'm ok with that. I'd really like to find a instant pot Congee recipe using sushi rice.
Hey Shelley, I actually used basmari rice before with frozen chicken and it turned out just as good! Not sure about sushi rice though :)
When I was growing up, my mom taught me to mix sticky rice and regular rice for better texture, and sushi rice actually already has the texture you're trying to accomplish with that old trick so it's great for congee! I'm not sure if you would have to change the water amount though.

One of my favourite dishes. My friend is Chinese but he hates congee and says I am more Chinese than he is... I am not Chinese... Ah I do have 2% Chinese DNA 🙂
I wonder if chicken breasts or thighs work just as good as drumsticks.
it was kind of bland but it did made me feel better
No real reason to peel the ginger before
I've actually never tried this! I will definitely try for next time. Thanks David! :)
I didn't notice you washing your hands after petting and feeding your dog
I believe this happened at a different time. I don't think she fed the dog and then went right back to cooking. I can't imagine she would let the dog lick her fingers then put her unwashed hands back in the food. Not everyone actually washes their hands on camera but YES if these events actually happened in the order presented in the video it is rather disgusting.
@@babygrandma8654 You're absolutely right! I always wash my hands with soap and water after feeding my dog. I just don't put it in the video to save time 😊👍
You are missing a lot of important parts.
:) 1hour? …. i made in in 8 minutes ..
You don't mention about how much water your voice is too soft
This comment is a bit late, but I don't think it's very hygienic to feed a dog by hand, even though it makes for cute content. It's just not the most sanitary option.
the recipe is amazing but the pun is terrible haha
I think you meant to the pun is terrific! 🤔😉
Good recipe. Didn’t need to see the dog eating for 3 minutes. Try listing just the ingredients first before telling how great it tastes.
I beg to differ, I love the dog! But everyone is different.
Skipped so many bits and had to endure dog bit.
Nothing turns me off more is when they are about to cook a meal and they give the dog something to eat and then letting the dog like their finger like seriously where's the hygiene. I love animals but I'm sorry for and animal saliva don't mix

Please just show how to make the chao. The other “extra” stuff is too much & a waste of time.
