Directions

1. Wash rice Place in a saucepan with water. (Since congee boils over easily, always cook it in a deep pot.)
2. Bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until rice thickens and becomes porridge-like (about 2 hours). Stir occasionally to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
3. Season with salt to taste.
