Ham bone + rice + water = Ham Congee, aka Chinese Ham Bone Rice Soup.
Slow cooker, pressure cooker or stovetop I use all 3 methods!
Chinese Ham Bone Rice Soup is a thing.

I securedtwoextra ham bones post Christmas 2017.
(Its actually better because because it isnt picked clean!)
SO WHAT IS CONGEE?
In case you didnt read between the lines, Im not a fan of watery/runny Congee!
It makes an incredible broth no other flavourings needed.
BE WARNED: THIS IS CRAZY EASY!!
Place rice, lots of water, and ham bone in a pot, slow cooker or pressure cooker.
Shred ham, return to pot, simmer a bit more.
Yes, it really is that easy.
I exaggerate not when I say I think this is the ultimate 3 ingredient meal!
Its ideal for all 3, and I use all 3 methods.
And in winter on the stove, almost always.
As for garnishes, at the very least, I like to sprinkle with some chopped green onions.
Something crunchy likeAsian Fried Shallots(pictured) or even Changs crunchy fried noodles is terrific.
Chinese Congee shops typically serve it with strips of crispy fried wonton skins.

So technically, I use more than 3 ingredients.
