Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb congee
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp garlic
  • 1 medium fresh ginger
  • 1 lb scallions
  • a pinch toasted sesame oil
  • 4 oz Shaoxing wine
  • to taste flaky salt
Method

Step by step

  1. Start low: onions and garlic in butter until they turn soft and sweet.
  2. Layer in the main ingredients and let them get to know the pot.
  3. Cover with stock and simmer gently -- a hard boil muddies a good soup.
  4. Taste, correct the salt, and brighten with a little acid before ladling out.
Keep cooking
