1. Combine rice, stock, ginger, soy and sesame oil in a pot. Bring slowly to the boil and then turn the heat down to a gentle simmer with a lid on for 1 hour 45 minutes – 2 hours or until the congee reaches the consistency of loose porridge. Stir the congee a few times throughout the cooking process to ensure it does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
2. Once cooked, season the congee with extra soy sauce, sesame oil and salt if required. Serve in bowls with a few thin slices of duck breast, sesame seeds and spring onions.
