We have always cooked congee on the stove top, but we decided to try cooking it in the Instant Pot since we love every Amy+Jacky recipe we’ve ever tried. This recipe was no exception – the congee was perfect and so flavorful. The dried scallops were a tasty addition – our Asian market carries the smaller scallops so we used Jacky’s conversion below (49g total scallops). We also used 4 cups of chicken broth and 3 cups of water. Thank you Amy+Jacky for the recipes!

I’m going to attempt putting ribs in, as we love salted ribs jook but I’m worried the bones will get all soft and fall apart. What do you think, any advice?

Hi Wen,

thank you for your kind words and question 🙂

Washing the rice a few times before cooking will reduce the overly starchy texture. You can also use less amount of rice to reduce the starchy texture.

Take care & have fun cooking

Hi team!

Love the simplicity of this recipe. Before IP days I’ve cooked this via the stove and it’s a labour of love! Can I please ask if you ever experienced an overly starchy texture with congee cooked via IP? I find that difference in texture vs stove cooking and I can’t figure out why. I do use the preset Porridge function but I thought it’s the same as manual. What am I doing wrong?

I added fish, scallops, and shrimp to this plain congee. So good and comforting and soothing while under the weather the past 2 weeks.

Hi Diana,

For this recipe, you can just throw them in completely dry.

Take care & have fun cooking!

Hello, I have never used dried scallop before. Do you soak it to rehydrate first before adding it? Or do you just throw in the scallop completely dry. Thank you.

Hi Ray,

thank you for your question 🙂

The total volume (180g of rice and 1750g of water) is still roughly 1:9 on the video.

I recommend using the manual/pressure cook button for the recipe.

Please take care & stay safe
Jacky
