Ingredients:





   1/2 c  Long-grain white rice


   1/4 c  Glutinous rice


 8 1/2 c  Cold water


     1 lg Bok choy, head separated


          -into white stalks and


          -leaves


 1 1/2 ts Salt, or more


     2 ts Soy sauce, low sodium


     1 pn White pepper


     1 sl Fresh ginger, to taste


     1 ts Scallion oil, (peanut oil


          -infused with green onions)






 Place both kinds of rice in a large pot. Wash rice under water 3 times,


 rubbing between hands then draining each time.


 


 Return rice to pot, add water, cover and bring to boil. Leave lid open a


 crack. Reduce heat tomedium-low and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours stirring


 occasionally to prevent rice from sticking to bottom of pot. Cook until


 rice thickens almost to consistency of porridge.


 


 As rice is cooking, wash bok choy stalks and leaves. Cut leaves into


 1/4-by-4-inch slices, and stalks into 1/4-inch pieces.


 


 About 7 minutes before rice is completely cooked, add bok choy stalks,


 salt, soy sauce, pepper and ginger. Mix together thoroughly and bring


 congee to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, add bok choy leaves and


 cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer. Turn off heat, then add scallion oil and


 stir well into mixture. Serve hot. 4 to 6 servings.
