Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Rice
  • 1-2 cups Water
  • 2-3 cups Chicken Stock Or 1 cup leftover gravy
  • 2 medium Potatoes Leftover, crumbled
  • 1 cup Turkey Leftover, warmed
  • 2 stalks Spring Onion Finely chopped
  • 1 thumb Ginger Peeled and grated
  • 3 tablespoons Rapeseed Oil
  • to taste Soy Sauce
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • to taste Chili Crisp

Instructions
 

  • Place the rice in the pot. Do not rinse the rice. Add 1-2 cups of water and 2-3 cups of chicken stock (or 1 cup of leftover gravy).
  • Simmer the congee, topping up with water as needed. If using leftover gravy, you will need a little more water as gravy is usually thickened.
  • While the congee cooks, crumble the leftover roast potatoes into small chunks.
  • Cook the potato chunks in an air fryer at 180°C until golden and crisp, or in the oven at 190°C until golden and crisp.
  • Warm the leftover turkey in the oven or microwave, covered in stock or gravy to keep it moist.
  • Finely chop the spring onions and finely grate the ginger.
  • Heat the rapeseed oil until hot, then pour it over the chopped spring onions and grated ginger. Season to taste with soy sauce and set aside.
  • Season the congee to taste with salt, pepper, or soy sauce.
  • Plate the congee, top with warmed turkey, drizzle spring onion sauce over, add chili crisp, and garnish with crispy potatoes.
