250 g shiitake mushrooms
110 g glutinous rice
225 g long-grain white rice
30 g ginger
30 g garlic
30 g leeks
1 tsp salt

Steps

Rinse the glutinous rice and long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear.
Heat the oil in an 8-quart pot over medium heat and cook the mushrooms, ginger, garlic, and leeks for 5 minutes.
Add both rices, vegetable stock, and salt, then bring the pot to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
Cook uncovered for 3 to 5 minutes until the rice is soft and the congee is thick.
