Rinse rice once, then place in a small saucepan with water, ghee, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer and partially cover. Simmer for 30 minutes until very soft. Add more water if needed.
Taste, then add in any additional seasonings as desired. Simmer another 5 minutes or more after adding any additional seasonings.
Notes
Black salt
My favorite thing to add (and all the congee needs along with a little black pepper) is black salt, a special mineral salt that has been kiln fired and contains sulphury compounds, primarily sodium chloride, that help to reduce gas and bloating. Watch this video about black saltPurchase black salt
