Congee is a type of rice porridge popular in Asia, especially as a comfort food when you’re ill. This incredibly fragrant dish brings the stomach-soothing benefits of ginger to the table: just what you want when the cold weather is getting to you.

Ingredients

  • 8 cups water
  • 1½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1" piece of ginger, sliced
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ cup unsalted peanuts
  • ½ cup thinly sliced scallions

Directions

  1. Place water, chicken, rice, ginger, and salt in a slow cooker. Cover and cook 8-10 hours on LOW or 5 hours on HIGH.
  2. Remove the chicken and ginger to a plate. Discard ginger and shred the chicken.
  3. Stir, making sure to scrape against the bottom and sides, and return chicken to pot.
