BUTTERNUT SQUASH CONGEE WITH CRISPY SHALLOTS AND SOFT-BOILED EGGS

Congee is a classic Chinese comfort food. It's a warm rice dish that is super versatile -- kind of like a blank canvas that you can adjust to suit your mood. If you prefer tasting the congee in its purest form, just cook the rice in a simple broth with a little salt and white pepper. If you want to take it to a place with textures and bold flavors, cook the rice with marinated proteins, then top it with crispy shallots, chopped soft herbs and maybe even a thousand-year-old egg. My version here adds the sweetness of butternut squash. As a young child, my mother would often add a vegetable element to congee to make it extra filling. Squashes were her favorite because they were naturally sweet and gave the congee a more pleasing color. Another trick my mother taught me was to start by tossing the rice in salt. This will cut down on the cooking time, which is usually at least 45 minutes. The thing about congee is that it's a simple dish but there is a lot in the technique. You can't just walk away from it. You need to stand over the pot and stir constantly while it cooks. As the starch from the rice is breaking down in the broth, it becomes very sticky and can easily burn -- and once it's burned, you'll have to start all over because no topping can hide that horrible taste! That's why my recipe uses a nonstick saucepan, which will help prevent that common mishap. Congee might be a humble dish but it's a dish that is a labor of love. Just think of it as a warm hug for your belly.

Butternut Squash Congee with Crispy Shallots and Soft-Boiled Eggs image

Steps:

  • Put the rice in a medium bowl and cover with water; drain. Repeat twice; drain well in a fine-mesh sieve. (This will help remove some of the starch.) Transfer the rinsed rice back to the bowl and add 1 1/2 tablespoons salt with 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil. Mix well with your hand or a rubber spatula and let sit for five minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pulse the butternut squash in a food processor until finely chopped. (If you are using a mini food processor, do this in batches.) Set aside.
  • Rinse the rice twice with cold water to remove the excess salt, then drain and transfer to a medium nonstick saucepan. Add the broth and butternut squash. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a medium-low simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until the consistency resembles oatmeal and the butternut squash is completely soft, bright orange and incorporated into the congee, about 30 minutes. Add the white pepper and season with salt.
  • While the congee cooks, placed the eggs in a small saucepan, cover with cold water and add the vinegar. Bring to a boil, cover and remove from the heat. Let sit for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; peel, then halve each egg lengthwise. Set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallots and gently fry, stirring, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Lightly sprinkle with salt.
  • Divide the congee among 4 shallow bowls. Top each with 2 egg halves. Garnish the congee with the ginger, scallions, cilantro and crispy shallots. Drizzle with sesame oil, if desired. Enjoy while warm.

1 cup long-grain white rice, such as jasmine
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups cubed peeled butternut squash, about 11 ounces
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
4 large eggs
Splash apple cider vinegar
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced into rings
1/4-inch piece ginger, peeled and cut into matchsticks
2 scallions, whites and light green parts, thinly sliced on the bias
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Toasted sesame oil, for drizzling, optional

Skillet Eggs With Squash image

Steps:

  • Grate the squash into a colander using the large holes of a box grater (or use a food processor fitted with the shredding attachment). Toss with 1 tablespoon salt, then let drain in the sink, 30 to 40 minutes. Squeeze the squash to remove as much liquid as possible.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Set aside 3 tablespoons scallion greens. Add the remaining scallions (white and green parts), the jalapeno, and salt to taste and cook until the scallions are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the shredded squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in the parsley, nutmeg, and pepper to taste. Cook until the mixture is slightly dry, about 1 more minute. Remove from the heat and let cool, 5 minutes.
  • Spread the squash evenly in the skillet. Make six 2 1/2-inch-wide indentations in the mixture with the back of a spoon; put 1/2 teaspoon butter in each one. One at a time, crack each egg into a small bowl and pour into an indentation. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the cheese.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to desired doneness, 10 to 12 minutes. Scatter the reserved scallion greens on top.

3 pounds (6 medium) summer squash and/or zucchini
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 large eggs
1/2 cup grated pepper jack or sharp white cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Combine the squash, 1/2 cup water and a pinch of salt in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap and pierce to vent. Microwave, stirring once, until just tender, 15 minutes; drain.
  • Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 minutes; stir in the chili powder. Add the beans, rice and 1/2 cup water and simmer, stirring, until the liquid evaporates, about10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
  • Wipe out the skillet. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium heat, then add the eggs and cook, stirring, until they start setting. Fold in the squash and cook until the eggs are set.
  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave. Divide the rice mixture, scrambled eggs, cheese and jalapenos among the tortillas. Fold up the bottoms, then fold in the sides and roll up. Serve with salsa.

THE BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS

For silky, outrageously good scrambled eggs, cook them low and slow. This method, which Mark Bittman learned from James Beard, is very low and very slow: you place the eggs over very low heat, stirring frequently, breaking up the curds as they form. The results are without compare. Make them for breakfast on the weekend, while the coffee brews and the bacon fries.

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them, just until the yolks and whites are combined. Season with salt and pepper and beat in the cream.
  • Put a medium skillet, preferably non-stick, over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the butter or oil and swirl it around the pan. After the butter melts, but before it foams, turn the heat to low.
  • Add the eggs to the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. At first nothing will happen; after 10 minutes or so, the eggs will begin to form curds. Do not lose patience: Keep stirring, breaking up the curds as they form, until the mixture is a mass of soft curds. This will take 30 minutes or more. Serve immediately.
