INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • ¼ cup dried scallops
    • 3 dried black mushrooms
    • 🍚 1 ½ cups uncooked short-grain white rice
    • ½ leftover turkey carcass, broken into pieces
    • 💧 9 cups water

  • Toppings

    • 🌿 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
    • 🧅 1 bunch green onions, chopped
    • ¼ cup thinly sliced fresh ginger
    • ¼ cup raw peanuts
    • 🧅 2 tablespoons dried red onion
    • 8 dashes sesame oil
    • ground white pepper to taste

STEPS

1

Place dried scallops and dried mushrooms in a bowl; pour in hot water to cover and let stand to rehydrate, about 10 minutes. Rinse and drain rice; set aside.

2

Separate any meat from bones of turkey carcass; set aside. Place bones and 9 cups hot water in a large stockpot and bring to a boil. Drain mushrooms and scallops; squeeze out any excess water. Break scallops into smaller pieces; slice mushrooms thinly.

3

Stir scallops, mushrooms, rice, and turkey meat into the stockpot; reduce heat to allow congee to simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally for a smooth congee, until rice is tender and congee is thick, about 2 hours. If you like a thinner congee, stir in hot water a few tablespoons at a time.

4

Ladle congee into individual bowls; top each bowl with cilantro, green onions, ginger, peanuts, red onion, sesame oil, and white pepper as desired.
