Ready to discover a recipe that will transform your breakfast routine? This green rice porridge, or congee, is a vibrant and nutritious twist on a classic comfort food. It’s a one-pot wonder, effortlessly prepared in your Instant Pot, and packed with the goodness of spinach, healthy grains, and your favorite toppings. At Robert Kline Art, we love incorporating wholesome, handmade meals into our creative lifestyles, and this recipe is a perfect example of that philosophy.
Embrace the Green: A Spinach-Powered Porridge
This isn’t your average rice porridge. We’re using a generous amount of spinach to create a vibrant green hue and infuse the porridge with essential vitamins and minerals. Trust me, your body will thank you.
Instant Pot Ease or Stovetop Simplicity
While I prefer the convenience of my Instant Pot, this porridge can be made on the stovetop as well. If you choose the stovetop method, be prepared to keep a closer eye on it to prevent sticking.
No matter your chosen cooking method, the beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. Add your rice, broth or water, and a touch of salt to the pot, then let it simmer away while you dream up delicious toppings.
Toppings Take Center Stage
Here’s where you can get creative and customize your porridge to your liking. Some of my favorite toppings include:
- Fresh and Zesty: Lime wedges, crushed kale chips, and toasted nori seaweed.
- Crunchy and Nutty: Toasted pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, and jungle peanuts.
- Savory and Satisfying: Thinly sliced tofu drizzled with soy sauce.
- A Touch of Heat: Sriracha sauce adds a fiery kick (optional, of course).
Mastering the Rice Ratio for Perfect Texture
Over time, I’ve landed on a winning rice ratio: one part white jasmine rice to two parts brown jasmine rice. This blend creates a porridge with a delightfully creamy texture. Feel free to experiment by adding a quarter cup of other quick-cooking grains like lentils, adzuki beans, or Job’s tears.
Make It Your Own: Endless Variations
Consider this recipe a blank canvas for your culinary creativity. Don’t hesitate to experiment with different herbs, spices, and broths. I often add a scoop of quinoa to my porridge for an extra protein boost.
A Nourishing and Delicious Start to Your Day
This green rice porridge is so much more than just a breakfast option. It’s a nutrient-packed, adaptable, and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed any time of day. It’s a testament to the fact that healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming.
