This conjee recipe treats body and digestion with kindness.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Jasmine rice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 12 cups water

For the topping

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 Shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup enoki mushrooms
  • 1 bunch bok choy, leaves broken apart
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger

To serve

  • Crispy shallots
  • Store bought chilli sauce or sambal oelek
  • 1-2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
  • Chopped chives or coriander
  • Sesame oil (1 teaspoon per bowl)
  • Soy sauce (2-3 teaspoons per bowl)

Serves: 4-6

Method

  1. Place the rice and water in a large saucepan and cover partially with a lid.
  2. Bring to the boil (this may take up to 15 minutes), reduce heat to a steady simmer and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  3. Stir occasionally, particularly towards the end to prevent the rice from sticking.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the mushrooms and bok choy.
  5. Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok and add the mushrooms, bok choy and ginger, tossing until cooked, about 2 minutes.
  6. Serve in bowls with the mushroom and bok choy placed on top, sprinkled with the other ingredients and seasoned with the sesame oil and soy sauce.
