Step 1
Bring broth to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add rice and ginger, stir, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered.
Step 3
Stir occasionally until rice breaks down and broth turns creamy, about 15 minutes.
Step 4
While congee cooks, bring a small pot of water to a simmer and gently slide in both eggs.
Step 5
Cook eggs 6–7 minutes until whites set but yolks still jiggle slightly.
Step 6
Stir soy sauce into congee, divide between bowls, and top each with a soft egg, crispy shallots, chili crisp, and scallions.
