Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Add ginger paste and jasmine rice, stirring until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in the boiling water (5 cups for 2 people / 10 cups for 4 people) and stock concentrate. Cover with a lid and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice kernels off the corn cob. • Roughly chop Asian greens. • Thinly slice red radish into sticks. • Finely chop garlic.
• Once rice is tender, remove lid and stir in corn and the salt. • Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until congee has thickened, 15-20 minutes. Season to taste. TIP: Add an extra dash of water to your congee if you prefer a thinner consistency.
• While congee is thickening, in a small heatproof bowl, combine garlic, the brown sugar and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). • In a large frying pan, heat olive oil (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people) over high heat, until just smoking, 30 seconds-1 minute, then carefully pour the oil over the garlic mixture. • Stir in soy sauce mix until combined. Set aside. TIP: The hot oil will bubble up and ‘cook’ the garlic.
• When congee has 5 minutes remaining, return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add Asian BBQ seasoning, Asian greens and a splash of water and cook until fragrant and wilted, 1-2 minutes.
• Divide ginger congee between bowls. Top with Chinese BBQ pork and radish. • Drizzle garlic chilli oil over congee. • Sprinkle over crispy shallots and tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: A comforting dish with umami notes, though some found it mild. Adding extra chilli or a flavourful sauce like teriyaki can boost the taste.
- Ease of prep: While the recipe involves several steps, many felt the effort was worthwhile for the final result.
- Suggestions: Consider cooking the corn separately from the rice for easier preparation. Adjust water quantity to avoid overly mushy rice.
- Portions: The recipe may overestimate water needed; reduce amount for firmer rice texture.
