Title: Simple Pork Congee

Ingredients:
– 1 cup jasmine rice
– 6 cups chicken broth
– 1 lb pork shoulder, diced
– 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, sliced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp soy sauce
– 1 tsp sesame oil
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. In a large pot, combine the jasmine rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
3. Add the diced pork shoulder, ginger slices, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
4. Continue to simmer the congee for an additional 45-60 minutes, or until the rice has broken down and the pork is tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
6. Serve the hot congee in bowls, garnished with your choice of toppings such as sliced green onions, crispy fried shallots, or a soft-boiled egg.
