Congee with Bok Choy (Two Rice)
1/2 cup of long-grain white rice
1/4 cup of glutinous rice
8 1/2 cups of cold water
1 large Bok choy, head separated
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, or more
2 teaspoons of soy sauce, low sodium
1 pinch White pepper
1 slice of fresh ginger, to taste
1 teaspoon of Scallion oil (or peanut oil)
Place both kinds of rice in a large pot. Wash rice under water 3 times, rubbing between hands then draining each time. Return rice to pot, add water, cover and bring to boil. Leave lid open a crack. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours stirring occasionally to prevent rice from sticking to bottom of pot. Cook until rice thickens almost to consistency of porridge. As rice is cooking, wash bok choy stalks and leaves. Cut leaves into 1/4-by-4-inch slices, and stalks into 1/4-inch pieces. About 7 minutes before rice is completely cooked, add bok choy stalks, salt, soy sauce, pepper and ginger. Mix together thoroughly and bring congee to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, add bok choy leaves and cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer. Turn off heat, then add scallion oil and stir well into mixture. Serve hot. 4 to 6 servings.
