Congee (Jook)

When traveling around asia, i found that a lot of train stations and other places that sold breakfasts sold a thing called congee in a little metal pop can almost that had a spoon on top. Well, i wanted to make some for a breakfast and found a recipe, tweaked it and added my own toppings. Here is my recipe.
1 cup long grain white rice
9 cups water
1/2 t. salt
put all the ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Boil about 5 minutes and then lower the heat to medium or low (just so it won't boil over) and boil it about an hour and a half and then start checking it more often during the last half hour so it won't stick. I had to turn up the heat in the last half hour. Just make sure there isn't any water on the top that hasn't had rice in it (or something like that) so it's all the way through. You're done! Super easy and a great breakfast food.
toppings:
peanuts
shiitake mushrooms
chopped button mushrooms sauteed with onions
kimchee
soy sauce
hoisin sauce
