Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring broth to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add rice and ginger, stir, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered.

  3. Step 3

    Stir occasionally until rice breaks down and broth turns creamy, about 15 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    While congee cooks, bring a small pot of water to a simmer and gently slide in both eggs.

  5. Step 5

    Cook eggs 6–7 minutes until whites set but yolks still jiggle slightly.

  6. Step 6

    Stir soy sauce into congee, divide between bowls, and top each with a soft egg, crispy shallots, chili crisp, and scallions.
