This comforting bowl of miso garlic congee is rich, savory, and full of spring flavor. Topped with sautéed mushrooms, crisp snap peas, and a jammy egg, it’s a nourishing and satisfying dish perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Ingredients2-3 servings
- 2-3 eggs (depending on number of servings)
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup long grain white rice (like Jasmine) rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup snap peas, sliced on the diagonal
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 spring onions, sliced, white and green parts separated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp olive oil, divided
- 2 tsp miso paste
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
Directions
1
In a large pot without oil, heat mushrooms over medium-high heat 5-6 minutes, until they release water and start to brown. Add white part of spring onion and 1 Tbsp olive oil and stir to coat. Sauté 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and sauté 30 seconds, until fragrant.
2
Add rice to pot and stir to combine. Add 4 cups water and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to maintain simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking.
3
Place miso paste in a small heatproof bowl. Spoon a few tablespoons of the boiling water over the top and whisk until miso is dissolved. Add mixture back to the congee and stir to combine.
4
In a separate small pot, bring enough water to cover the eggs to a boil. Add eggs in their shell to boiling water and boil 6½ minutes. In a large bowl, prepare an ice bath. When eggs are done, immediately transfer to ice bath for at least 3 minutes. Remove from ice bath and carefully peel eggs then slice in half.
5
Scoop congee into bowls. Top with sliced snap peas, green onions, bell pepper, and jammy eggs. Drizzle remaining 1 tsp olive oil over the bowls, garnish with red pepper flakes, and serve warm.
Note: Depending on preference, short grain rice could also be used!
Happy cooking 🥰 ☀️
Can you tell me how many servings this makes, please?
Absolutely fantastic! I used steamed baby bok choy plus the peppers, and snap peas for the topping. Keeper recipe!
Thank you looks delicious
Can you provide the nutritional values – sodium, carbohydrates, protein, fats, etc.
My wife and I really enjoyed this but it did take longer than the 30 minutes that the recipe called for. Next time we will try adapting it to cooking in the oven…
Simple and delicious! Thank you
Great Recipe with a lot of flavor. Easy to prepare and very healthy.
It’s great! Husband just went Stem cell Transplant, this is only thing he could eat for days and hold down.
Refreshing,tasty,and delicious.
So easy to make, quick lunch/dinner.
Sounds delish
You are a gem.
Thank you very much for providing the recipe. It is very delicious. Many thanks again
Delicious! Thanks
This looks so inviting. Will try it 😉
Why white rice with so few nutrients? Why not brown rice or wild rice ( not really a rice, I know), or quinoa or some other whole grain?
Congee is traditionally made with white rice, but it can certainly be adjusted to meet your preferences! Here is how you can adapt the recipe for brown rice: In Step 2: Add brown rice to pot and stir to combine. Add 5–6 cups water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer uncovered for 90–120 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Thank you for the recipe. Looks delicious.

I like the ingredients in this except eggs. I cannot eat eggs nor anything dairy. I don’t really like eggs. I would leave those out and maybe add something else to it possibly an organic noodle. What do you think?
You can leave out the egg, or replace it with another protein source. For example, tofu or tempeh.
This looks really interesting. I’ll try it.
I will have to give this a try. Thank you
Can’t wait to make this recipe and try it.
I can’t wait to try this Recipe!
I am going to try this out sounds delicious.
What in the world is jammy eggs? Is that American version of what we call deviled eggs?
between soft and hard boiled
sounds great, but these recipes are not simple.
This sounds amazing. I’ll probably leave out the red pepper flakes.
Delicious 😋
For veg-heads, how about some seasoned baked Tofu instead of eggs?
That would be a great modification!
Have not made yet, sure it will be great!
Love the miso with egg!
