Basic Chinese Congee

Chinese white-rice porridge slowly cooked with water, ginger, and scallion, served for breakfast.

This simple version follows the Chinese preparation of rice cooked in plenty of water with ginger and scallion. The stated ratio makes a soft, relatively soupy porridge; the rice cooks until it opens and thickens the liquid.
