Coconut Ginger Congee
with Crispy Tofu
Congee is a simple, comforting rice porridge. While it originates from China, many versions are eaten across Asian cuisines. This adaptation uses coconut milk, similar to Southeast Asian congees, and quinoa-speckled rice for an extra crunch. Adding tofu boosts the protein in this comforting dish, giving you sustainable energy.

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine garlic, ginger, scallion whites, rice, coconut milk, 1 cup water, and a pinch of salt in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until grains are tender and water is absorbed, 13 to 15 minutes.
Heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in separate small saucepan over medium heat. Add scallion greens, tofu, and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until tofu is lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
Divide coconut ginger congee between bowls. Top with crispy tofu, charred scallion, and as much sriracha as you’d like.
