Name: Crispy Scallion & Anchovy Congee
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: ¾ cup short-grain white rice; 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth; 1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, sliced; ¼ teaspoon white pepper; 3 dried anchovies, heads and guts removed; 3 tablespoons neutral oil; 3 scallions, white and light green parts only, sliced thin on bias; 2 large eggs; 1 tablespoon crispy fried shallots; 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil; sea salt to taste

This Korean-style congee is studded with chewy short-grain rice cooked down into creamy submission, crowned with a pool of toasty anchovy-scallion oil, crispy shallot threads, and a soft-poached egg nestled on top. The briny depth of the anchovy oil cuts through the porridge's richness while fresh ginger and white pepper warm from within.
