Leave it boiling for good 10 - 15 mins until rice is cooked through and mushy. At this stage, rice is cooked and look mushy but it’s not a good congee (yet) as the grains are not yet starchy. Do Stir in between.
5. Next, pour chicken broth into congee pot. This time, over LOW HEAT, Simmer congee for at least 30-40 minutes or more. Simmer until it reaches a thick starchy consistency, NOT WATERY.
