Mushroom Congee (20 Minutes ONLY!)

MUSHROOM CONGEE

Let’s be honest, nothing hits the spot more than congee when you are sick, hungover, or not feeling well, but who wants to spend hours in the kitchen when you are not feeling the best?

Here is my healthy, delicious, and EASY Mushroom Congee that takes less than 20 minutes.

Mushroom congee is vegetarian-friendly, but you can also customize by adding shredded chicken, pork, or century egg. 

BLENDER TRICK

My secret tip for saving more than 30 minutes to make Mushroom Congee is to use a blender!

Yes, you heard me correct; we will be blending the rice to create the perfect Mushroom Congee.

Blending the rice gives the congee restaurant-style smooth consistency that usually takes hours to complete.

This tip also helps infuse the mushroom stock into the rice, making the dish ten times more flavourful.

I only blend half of the rice as I still like to see some grain in the congee and provide extra texture. 

MUSHROOM CONGEE

You can use any mushroom of your choice to make Mushroom Congee.

I like to use shiitake mushroom as my main base as it is the most umami flavor.

Other mushrooms that I love are shemiji mushroom, crimini mushroom, oyster mushroom, and king oyster mushrooms.

You can also add any protein of your choices, such as shredded chicken, thinly sliced pork, or century egg.

For century egg, cut into bite-size pieces and fold into the congee 5 minutes before serving. 

Korean Marinated Eggs

Mushroom Congee is also the perfect weekend brunch.

My family and I also prepare many side dishes to enjoy with congee.

Some of my favorite side dishes are fried egg, Chinese fried donuts, garlic cucumber salad, Korean spinach salad, spicy mung bean salad, and Korean Marinated Eggs.

Many of these side dishes can be prepared ahead of time and last in the fridge for a week.

    This is delicious beyond belief..
    I would recommend that you up the rice you make that is added to the blender. I added the recipe amount plus another cup to make it a thicker consistency.

    Also – after you cook it let it rest just a tiny bit. It will allow for everything to come together and thicken up.

    This is of course only if you wish to have a thicker congee, if you prefer it more soup-y follow the recipe as is.

3 WAYS TO ENJOY WONTONS 

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
