Fastest & Simplest Way to have you creamy congee (rice porridge)

Congee or rice porridge in Chinese always serve as the simplest comfort food. It made up with two main ingredients: rice and liquid. The rice I preferred is Sushi/Japanese rice which is easy to get the soft and sticky texture after thoroughly cooked. The liquid I used either the chicken/dried anchovies (ikan bilis)/pork ribs/dried scallops stock, which adding flavour to the congee.

But one thing really bothering me is the time it takes to cook the rice to thick and creamy, which almost 1 to 1.5 hours. Anyway I found a better way to shorten the cooking hour.

I will first wash and drain the rice, soak into water for an hour. Then pop in to the freezer overnight. When you want to cook the congee,  just take out from the freezer and  pop in to the bubbling-boiled liquid. In just 5-10 minutes you will found that the rice has turn to thick soften congee.
