Plea for Culinary Wisdom, Wet Boast, Disability Data

[jesse_the_k]

I created something congee-like by accident (too much water, too low a temperature) but Aunt Google has overwhelmed me: raw rice/water ratios vary all over the map, from 1/20 to 1/3. What's a sure-fire recipe when I'm using a pot?

I've reached a new milestone in my (almost) daily swimming: I managed two lengths of every-fourth-stroke crawl. I am amaze, and I even have a cold. Perhaps the six inhaler puffs provided the needed energy. I feel completely OK about boasting. I deeeeed it!

I use a crockpot, and make congee with 1/4 cup of rice, 8 cups of broth, and about 5 hours of cooking. I've never made it without a crockpot! I imagine it should cook faster on top of a stove, but would need some stirring.

This is what I tend to go for.

Ahaha wow, everyone makes congee so differently! We usually just use leftover rice, so I don't know how to make it completely from scratch in a pot - but my "recipe" is leftover rice + a quart or so of chicken stock and a beaten egg or two, plus whatever else - shredded chicken, green onions, preserved eggs, etc.

This is the one I've used. http://www.chow.com/recipes/29184-ginger-chicken-jook-rice-porridge I use the regular sodium broth and chicken thighs, no bones. Probably better with bones, but I don't like them.
