Recipes: Preserved Egg and Pork Congee

I've had this old school rice cooker forever and we finally got a brand new Zojirushi rice cooker from Costco! It's a 10-cup baby and only $80! BUT, it's Made in China, so it's definitely not as good as the Japanese one. We actually might return it because there's no way to tell how much longer your rice will take. We've been spoiled with our old school one because it only takes 20 minutes to cook rice, but this new one takes 1 hour to 1.5 hours and you have no idea of knowing! So we keep making food and having to wait for the rice to finish! But I digress . . . so one of the perks of this new rice cooker is that it makes congee! No more stovetop congee for me! And it's super easy . . .

You'll need:
* 1 cup white rice
* Water (fill to 2 cup line on the porridge line in the rice cooker)
* 1 cup chicken broth
* 1 teaspoon soy sauce
* 4 preserved eggs, chopped
* 1/2 lb pork chop, cut in to strips

Wash the rice and place in to the rice cooker with water, chicken broth, and soy sauce. Place chopped preserved eggs and pork chop on top. Make sure it's on top of the rice. Close the rice cooker, set it on the porridge setting, hit start, and walk away!! It'll be ready in about 1.5 hours! So easy! 

 Rice with water, chicken stock, and soy sauce
 Preserved eggs, make sure it's not Made in China
 (I like how this one says it's lead-free - always a good thing!)
 Preserved eggs - left ones are peeled, right ones are shell on
 Boneless pork chop
 Congee - ready to eat! Serve with green onion and white pepper
