Fresh ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Chef's tip
Coconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning.
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
½ tsp white pepper
Ingredient note
White pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid white pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For serving

4 large eggs
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis flags onions and the allium family as common bladder irritants, especially raw, but scallions are milder and this recipe uses only about 3/4 scallion per serving, so they are likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
Ingredient note
Fresh ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1–2 tsp toasted sesame oil, for drizzling
1 tbsp crispy fried shallots (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the rinsed rice, chicken broth, smashed garlic, and grated ginger in a large pot or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
2
Simmer uncovered, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom, for 45–55 minutes, until the grains have fully broken down and the porridge is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and falls slowly from a ladle. The texture should be creamy and cohesive, not watery or grainy.
