Goldilocks never saw this one coming. Congee is something I was recently introduced to and I just fell in love. It's a Chinese rice porridge (a thick and hearty soup) that typically contains a protein like chicken or pork and is also commonly eaten for breakfast but can be served any time of day. I certainly prefer it for a super delightful lunch or dinner on a chilly day.
Congee is comforting, yet LIGHT (and gluten-free)! Complex in flavor, yet EASY TO MAKE! When I served it to my folks, it was a huge win with them. I left the leftovers behind and my mom let me know that she was obsessed and polished them off the next day.
This dish is so outstanding, wholesome and easy to make in your Instant Pot, that's it's going to be in my Lighter Step-By-Step Instant Pot Cookbook!

OMG!! Thank you for this recipe!!! I’m Asian, but don’t really have cooking skills. Been craving this for forever and I am just SOOOOOO thankful for this!
We eat this congee with these toppings (of course optional):
Sliced boiled eggs
Fried garlic
Green onions
This makes me so happy to read!
Please thank your dad for saying "chowder". I can't eat potatoes now, and have been missing clam chowder. Now I'm going to make some using congee and the rest of the clam chowder ingredients! I've been trying to figure out a way for a couple years now. Thanks so much!
I prefer vietnamese chao which is SO MUCH EASIER than this recipe. We use fresh minced ginger, garlic and green onion, sauteed; add 2 chicken breasts; 6 cups chicken broth; and 1 cup rice. Cook in instapot, natural release 20 min. After cooking add 1tbsp fish sauce, green onion, cilantro, and more fresh minced ginger. Add lime juice, salt and pepper to taste and DONE! No sugar, no other seasonings, no waiting for it to thicken (it comes out thick). One step recipe. Much easier than this recipe, FAST, and AMAZING!
C. R. Sounds great but in no way is that any “easier” than this recipe. As shown in the video, all you do here, is dump water, rice, chicken and seasonings into the pot and pressure cook. Then add a few more seasonings let it bubble and rest and it’s done.
@@PressureLuck My husband and I cook your recipes all the time and we have your cookbook, so not trying to put your recipe down. The vietnamese recipe I use is fewer ingredients, fewer steps and less time. That's why I said it's easier.
C. R. Now try this recipe and see which you enjoy more.
@@PressureLuck My husband and I are definitely going to try your recipe this week!! ❤ Try ours too! Much love!
That looks delicious and comforting! I like that you cooked the chicken with the skin and bones because ppl don’t want skin because of the fat, but that the skin and bones is where the nutrients are for our immunity systems. That’s important as we come into winter, as well as flu season and the lingering Rona virus. I can’t wait to make it! I love your parents kitchen! Where’s Richard? I missed seeing him try the dish. I pray that one day you get a big beautiful gourmet kitchen, because you deserve it. ❤️
This is the kind of soup I crave as the weather gets cooler. Light but filling.
Great job, Jeffery!🤤😋
This has been our winter breakfast for the past couple of years. I use bone broth, either pork or chicken, mixed with water and medium ,or short grained rice, a thumb's worth of ginger cut into coins and a tsp of toasted sesame oil. I usually do it in the slow cooker overnight but when that craving hits...I do it in the IP. We usually just use leftover cooked chicken or pork to garnish it. A soy sauce fried egg, some scallions and finely julienned ginger on top and drizzle a bit of sesame oil and a sprinkle of white pepper. Chopped peanuts go good on it too.
Congee is an amazing dish, but all those seasonings are not necessary. Fresh ginger, onions, and for the amount you made maybe 2 tablespoons of chicken bouillon will be perfect. This is a comfort food for us asians.
You are a true blend of both your parents! They're adorable :)
Like the West Village in the 70s, that's hilarious! What a reference Jeffrey!
I love it!! 💖
This looks so good!!
Great to see Shelly and your dad on the video. Can’t wait to try this easy recipe.
Yum! Definitely have to try this! Looks delicious!! 🤗♥️
The cooler weather is coming and this is definitely something I'll be trying as alternative to chicken and noodles (which I also make in the InstantPot). :)
OMG your parents are adorable!!!!!
Love congee!!! Thank you for this
Thanks for the light recipe! Looks delish!
One of our go to for cold evenings or cold season meals..... thank you ever so for the recipe.
I can’t wait to make this 😆 and I can’t wait for the cookbook in April!!!! ❤️
Congrats on your book! Keep up the great work. I followed your beef rump pot roast recipe last night with my instant pot and it came out AMAZING! TY :D
I'll have to substitute honey for that maple syrup but can't wait to try it! Thanks for adding some lighter items!
I like using Plum Sauce to add sweetness with a bit of flavor to many dishes. It seems to work just as good IMO and I think it would be great in this dish.
I just made this beautiful dish, and it is absolutely delicious!! 😋 Thank you for a wonderful recipe and broadening my horizons!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I first had Congee on a cruise ship and really enjoyed it. I can't wait to try this recipe!
Your mom has really pretty, natural red hair! It looks like she doesn't even have to color it to keep it that way. She's blessed.
First recipe I made of yours!! That's when I fell in love :)
Sounds delicious, I love 💕 your videos thanks for sharing
I hate sweet stuff for breakfast and typically eat stuff like chicken soup in the morning so when I heard about congee I went looking for an instant pot recipe and what do you know, my favorite instant pot guy is already on it. Love it.
This is the 10th IP chicken congee recipe I've watched this AM. You're the first non-asian cook I've watched. All the other recipes have been rice, ginger, broth or water and chicken. No asian cook has added hoisin or sesame oil, much less garlic powder, maple syrup etc. But it sounds appealing to my western palate. Think I'm going to start with the simplest version and try the other ingredients as I make it throughout the winter. Thanks for the variation.
This comment made my day. Please let me know your thoughts when done. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
That looks really good! Definitely will be making it.
This looks amazing! Can't wait to try it!
Happy Sukkot!⛺🥰
I just saw this yesterday and had everything but the white pepper, so I just made it and it's so warm and savory! Just what I wanted! Thanks for the great recipe!!
Can’t wait to make it
Never heard of this, totally have to make it! Thanks!
Looks amazing and delicious!
Oh my gosh! I just did this dish. I’ve got to tell you, it’s smell amazing in the house :) and it is soooo delicious! So good! Delicate Asian flavour. Certainly confort food. Can’t wait to do it again, particularly when cold weather will be back. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. And btw, just bought your cookbook Lighter Step-by-step Instant Pot. Beautiful and simple recipes. Can’t wait! God bless you and loves ones.
Gosh that looks good!! I have never tried anything like this, I WILL BE trying this for sure!!
That looks delicious. I was thinking that a similar recipe with lemon flavoring would be good. I may give that a try. Looking forward to your new book!
Lu's Traveller That sounds yummy...maybe the lemon would give it a Greek flair?
Looks delicious!
I'll be making this today!!!
Awe, I love your parents, 😇
I made this tonight using 3 teaspoons of better than bouillon chicken in the water and using the non salted seasonings and it came out delicious. I can already tell this is going to be a go to recipe
You did it again. Thanks. Keep on cooking.
You are an excellent teacher and I’m enthused to make the recipe in my Instant Pot.
I love Congee! I love this recipe!
Just in time for this cooler weather, and it certainly looks so very good! Very interesting recipe and name. Seems I have heard the name congee before but never knew what it was. Now I do thanks to you. I will definitely be trying this out, just will add a little less salt for us, as you know the seniors have to watch our sodium intake, duh. Your parents are a sweet couple. What a great family. Thanks for a fantastic video recipe..... Claudia
i love this stuff.. ive made it before. thanks!
Thank you for this recipe, it is ahhhhmazing!!🥰 I am very happy to read it will be in your new cookbook,,,,I will no longer have to squint to see it on my phone!🤪😄
You rock!!
Going to buy the groceries needed n a few minutes ,this will be made in this kitchen today! Thanks so much. Yum. Blessings 🇨🇦👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Love your new home!
Okay, this is simply ORGASMIC !!!
I have your first cookbook and I've cooked many recipes from it. So I can't wait for your 2nd cookbook to come out in April 2021!! I won't forget coz it's my birth month! Nice gift to myself 😁
is it out now
I didn't have all the ingredients but I made it anyway. OH MY GOODNESS! Even missing a few of the spices I still had an amazing soup. Definitely will get the few missing items and try it again. Thanks Jeffrey!
Please come out with an Keto IP Cookbook.
I love his recipes soooo much! I try to convert to Keto also. 😁
I can convert most of Jeffrey’s recipes to keto, but ones like this won’t work. I’d LOVE an IP cookbook from him!
Your parents are precious.
This is a great winter warmer for us in south west Western Australia. 🇦🇺 Family favourite to go with the growing list from Pressure Luck. We add corn to it as well.
I’ve made the congee it turned out great
I like your recipe. I'll be using it with some modifications :)
I've made this several times and I love it! I have a "delicate" appetite due to medications and health problems and this is one of the few things that doesn't cause me problems! It's also so easy to make that I don't exhaust myself making it! (once again, health problems) I use sodium free chicken broth instead of water and finely chopped onion instead of onion powder.
This makes me so happy to read! Thrilled the recipe could make your life easier!
Great recipe! East Asian here, so I grew up eating congee.
Jeffrey: New subscriber here. I just made your Congee last night and it was fabulous; this morning I re-heated it and the flavor reminds me of chicken pot pie, minus the crust. So good. I love your Simple Comforts cookbook.
So awesome! Welcome!
Love your parents!
Your mom is so pretty. Love her accent!
I found your channel by accident. Can I say I love you and thank you for encouraging me to use my IP. 🥰🥰🥰
How nice to see you with your family :-) I have an instant pot on the way from Amazon. I will definitely try making this. I'm writing today from Massachusetts, but I live in Thailand, where I've been a teacher for the past 15 years. Thanks for the informative video. I've always made Jok the "old fashion" way. This looks like a much better preperation method. I'll let you know how I make out.
Happy Yom Kippur to you and your family, Jeff!!
I have pre ordered the new cook book! I can't wait to try this one. Never heard of anything like this before. I am not a big fan of ginger though. Is it strong in the dish? I so needed to try something with rice. I haven't tried rice in the IP yet. Thanks for everything you have done for us! This is going to be great this winter!
Sounds delicious. Something similar to our asopao de pollo in Puerto Rico. Also great, if you substitute shrimp for chicken. Great with crispy fried green plantains on the side! 😋! Stay well!
I always put Twistees (cheesy things) into my jook (congee). Fried onions are good too. Great video, I will try the maple syrup next time.
My wife already wants me to make this for her and our girls. Looks yummy Jeff. 😋🎆
I love this Asian recipe and that you didn’t use the porridge function on the instant pot. Could you please do more (Asian recipes)?
Congee aka as Jook or Chook is a very popular dish in Hawaii, being a melting pot of ethnicities. You did a great job recreating this recipe, Jeff, as with all your recipes. Aloha ~Dionne
Just tried this out since I just got an instantpot and my fiance's sick right now.....he is usually a picky eater but THIS was amazing he said, and i also agree! It is like a thick chicken noodle soup but BETTER :)!
Hi Mom and Dad!!! You've got a great son, there, very nice man. You both did a great job raising him!
Also in your directions you say to “ass in” instead of “add in”. 😂❤️
I bet the amber maple syrup would be super nice in this. I find a nice organic one at my local grocery store for a great price.
Going to try this and add to the sweetness by adding some sweet corn kernels…
In order to cut back on the soy sauce while cooking your congee. You can have it as a side garnish, by slicing up some ginger and add soy sauce with some sesame oil on the side. So that whoever thinks that the congee is not salty enough, that side savory garnish is what adds on to the congee flavour.
great
Hey Jeffrey, i think there might be a typo on the printed recipe. It says 2 minutes quick release instead of 20. Im going by the video though. Just thought you should know.
Serve it with deep fried or air fried tofu dipped in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar with chopped garlic salt and pepper. That’s the Filipino style of eating congee or what we call arroz caldo. @Pressure Luck
I might add some mushrooms to this as well.
... am I a dork for wanting to add a bit of corn and green peas? Lol I looove the way this looks. Can’t wait to taste.
Have you ever done mill gruel? Thank you i got a random chicken pooridge from my local asian market. My husband loved it and asked if i could make some soon. Thanks
Just wondering if you could substitute Rice Noodles for the actual rice? Would it still thicken up as much?
Ohh Jeffrey that looks incredibly delicious. So many choices to modify what I'm reading in the comments. That's what you always say is cook it however you want!
Can you use frozen chicken? If so, how much additional cooking time? I'm planning on making this very soon.
Jeffrey, your instructions say to give it a TWO minute natural release! I had to rewatch the video to make sure what you said about natural release!
That's great! But we'd been doing the same dish in Puerto Rico for ages, we call it "asopao" with chicken and even shrimp!
But it's got no maple in it, and no asian ingredients, but tomatoes and sweet peppers and olives. 🤤
We can testify it can cure many ailments... even your worst hangover from last night's partying!
so I made this now, and I would say it needs about twice as much rice. and congee should be more watery, closer to a soup. but flavor is pretty good, I'll make it again.
Another home run, Jeff...go Red Sox !!
Your mother is beautiful and she looks like she could be your sister and not your mother!!
Natural redhead sometimes never lose their beautiful hair color. It's a real blessing.
Houses with good cooks and bear like features are the best ;) Bears make everything better ;)
West Village in the 70's?! Very funny.....have you tried the Porridge setting? This was created for "Jook". Is manual setting better?
This is actually a really good question. I was wondering if mine had the porridge button, but it does! I've never used it before. If you make it using the porridge button let me know.
how much of a difference would brown or red rice make?
“It’s like being in west village in the 70s” 😂
I made this tonight, it's delicious. I did add better than bouillon chicken and some siracha sauce. If you like chicken and rice, this is for you.
Don’t you dare stop cooking. What do you have, a chef?
I am a family of 1. How well will this freeze?
This is very similar to Portuguese Canja we just don’t have that many spices.
How would leaving out the ginger change the favor profile?
Wondering if I can use cauliflower in place of rice and sugar free syrup, of course,for a Keto version 🤔
Cauliflower Congee has a nice ring to it.😍
Elisa Fuller no, cauliflower rice would not work. It would disintegrate. It needs to be rice because the starch from the rice is what thickens up the soup.
I was just thinking that I wish it was keto, too! :)
Could brown rice work for this recipe?
