Ingredients 

Congee

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower
  • 1 cup medium grain rice rinsed well
  • 4 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 tbs grated young ginger
  • 8 cups chicken-style vegan or vegetable stock
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 6 swiss mushrooms washed and sliced
  • 3 spring green onions, sliced finely
  • 1 teaspoon tamari

FOR THE ROASTED RADISHES

  • 1 bunch fresh radish washed, leaves removed
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sunflower
  • 1 teaspoon tamari or soy sauce
  • a pinch of sea salt

Instructions

TO MAKE THE CONGEE

  • To make the congee, heat the sunflower and sesame oil slightly in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, rice and stock and bring to a soft boil.
  • Turn the heat down to very low and cook for 1 hour or until soft and silky, stirring every 10 minutes. I cooked mine to a loose, soupy consistency but you can cook longer for a firmer version. Add a pinch of salt if needed.

TO MAKE THE ROASTED RADISH

  • To make the radishes, pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C.
  • In a small roasting pan toss together the sesame and sunflower oil, the radishes and sea salt.
  • Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Toss through the soy sauce and return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with a small handful of the sliced spring onions and set aside.

Mushrooms

  • In a small sauté pan, heat a dash of sunflower oil and sauté the mushrooms with a pinch of salt until cooked.
  • To serve, spoon a ladle of congee into a bowl. Top with the fried mushrooms and a good pinch of sliced onions.
  • Slice the roasted radishes in half and place on top. Drizzle with a tiny amount of tamari and serve.
