1 cup medium grain rice, soaked for 30 minutes

12 cups water
1 teaspoon oil
1 carrot, diced
4 large dried oysters, pre-soaked
4 large dried scallops, pre-soaked
2 spring onions, chopped

Directions:

1. Soaked dried oysters and scallops in cold water separately for at least 2 hours to soften them. Retain the soaking liquid. Shred the scallops, and cut oysters into small pieces.
2. Peel carrot and dice into 0.5cm cubes.
3. Wash and rinse the rice several times. Place rice in a pot, add water and seafood liquid (used to soak the dried seafood), and bring to a boil.
4. Add oysters, carrots and 1 tsp oil.
5. Let the congee boil, then lower heat to let it bubble for 20 minutes.
6. Add the shredded scallops, and let congee simmer for 20-30 minutes. Do stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking the bottom of the pot.
7. Turn heat off, and serve garnished with spring onion.

I love congee! You can add anything to it. Chinese often have it for breakfast with something added to the top like chopped preserved eggs.

An easy way to make it is in a slow cooker. Soak any medium grain rice in water for half an hour. I like basmati brown rice. Rinse and put in a slow cooker for six hours or more, measuring 6 parts water to 1 part rice. Then add any vegetable or meat to it, anything your heart desires. Or chop something to add to the top like peanuts, scallions, or/and mushrooms, etc.

It is as good as chicken soup for someone who is sick, too.
