Thermomix Basic Congee

I wanted something the whole family could eat – from the 8-month-old all the way up to my husband. I wanted something nourishing with a hit of immune boosting qualities because my son and I have been a little rundown. So I looked around at a few recipes for how to make a congee in the thermomix and came up with this. The kids had theirs plain – with some raw veggies on the side to munch on. I added a whole stack of watercress and sauerkraut to ours because I thought it needed an extra little punch.

Don’t skimp on the ginger – it makes it!

Instructions

1. Mix tamari through the mince and let it marinate (the earlier the better).
2. Add rice to dry bowl and mill on speed 8 for five second. Remove from bowl.
3. Add garlic and ginger to bowl and chop speed 7 for three seconds.
4. Add rice back into bowl with water/stock and cook for 12 minutes, 100 degrees, reverse, speed 1.
5. Add mince to bowl in teaspoon fulls. Little time consuming but worth it! Then cook for another 12 minutes, 100 degrees, reverse, speed 1. I let mine sit in the thermoserver for half an hour and added salt.
