Introducing a creamy, soft egg congee that your baby will absolutely love, made quickly with simple ingredients from your pantry. Say goodbye to baby food worries!
Key Ingredients- 1 cup soaked glutinous rice
- 2 fresh eggs
- Pinch of sea salt (for baby)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 bunch chopped green onions (optional)
- 4 cups water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Before you start cooking this delicious egg congee, please prepare all your ingredients. It’s important to wash the glutinous rice thoroughly and soak it for at least 30 minutes. Have your eggs ready in a clean bowl.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the soaked glutinous rice with 2 cups of water. Blend it just until it’s coarsely ground; avoid making it too smooth, as some rice texture is desirable. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can cause the congee to clump.
Step 3
The fresh eggs we’re using today have vibrant yolks and look very fresh, promising a nutritious treat for your baby!
Step 4
Crack the eggs into a bowl and, using a fork, whisk them until the yolks and whites are well combined and smooth. Whisking thoroughly helps to eliminate any eggy smell.
Step 5
Wash the green onions, trim the roots, and finely chop them. Since this is for a baby, try to chop them as finely as possible.
Step 6
In a wide and deep pot, add the blended glutinous rice mixture and the remaining 2 cups of water. It’s crucial to stir continuously to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Step 7
Place the pot over medium-low heat and stir constantly to prevent clumps. Once it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until the rice grains have softened and broken down. When the congee reaches the desired consistency, add a tiny pinch of baby-safe salt to season.
Step 8
As the congee is nearly ready, slowly pour in the whisked egg. Stir quickly as you pour to ensure the egg cooks evenly and forms soft ribbons, rather than large curds. It’s important to achieve a smooth texture.
Step 9
Finally, add the finely chopped green onions and the fragrant sesame oil. The green onions will add a touch of freshness, and the sesame oil will enhance the creamy texture and nutty flavor.

Mix everything together gently, and your soft, delicious egg congee, perfect for baby food, is ready!
