Duck Congee [0000772]

Ingredients:

1 cup rice (jasmine rice works well)
4 cups water or gluten-free chicken broth
1 cup cooked duck meat, shredded (you can use leftover roasted duck)
2-3 slices of ginger
2 green onions, chopped
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Optional: Sesame oil for added flavor
Optional: Chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain the rice.

In a large pot, bring the water or gluten-free chicken broth to a boil.

Add the rinsed rice and ginger slices to the boiling liquid. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the rice simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 30-40 minutes, or until the rice has broken down and the congee has thickened to your desired consistency.

Remove the ginger slices from the congee.

Stir in the shredded duck meat and chopped green onions. Continue to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes to heat the duck and incorporate the flavors.

Season the congee with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that the duck and broth might already be salty, so adjust the seasoning accordingly.

Optional: Drizzle a small amount of sesame oil over the congee to enhance the flavor.

Serve the Duck Congee hot in bowls. If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley for a fresh touch.

Enjoy your comforting and gluten-free Duck Congee, a delicious and nourishing dish perfect for colder days or when you're in the mood for something cozy!
