Congee Upgraded Version!

Remember I posted a recipe on making congee? This time, I've come back with an upgraded version haha. I've tossed in a few more ingredients, making this a more colourful and filling congee.

You will need:
(2 servings)

1 cup of rice
6 cups of water
1 carrot
mince meat (size of your fist)
2 slices of ginger
one strip of spring onion
6 dried shrimps
iceberg lettuce
soya sauce
sugar
corn starch.

Steps:
1. Wash the dried shrimps and soak it in water for 15 mins. Then drain off the water.
2. Wash the rice twice, then add in the water. Let it cook in the rice cooker. Add in the dried shrimps as well.
3. Marinate the mince meat with some soya sauce, sugar and corn starch. 

4. Cut the ginger into thin strips,. Peel and dice up the carrots and add it to the congee. Add in the ginger as well.

5. Keep stirring at times and be careful when it starts boiling up.
6. Add in the marinated mince meat. Add a pinch of salt to give more the congee some flavour. 
7. Wash some lettuce and cut them up. Add it into the rice cooker.
8. Some rice cookers tell you when the porridge is done, but if it doesn't, when it thickens, taste it and adjust it to your preference by leaving it to cook longer or add more salt if you prefer a stronger taste.
9. When it is done, plate it in a bowl, and add some cut-up spring onion for decoration, it also enhance the taste to the congee.
