Method
Rinse the jasmine rice until the water runs clear.
Peel and julienne the ginger, mince the garlic, and slice the spring onions.
Bring the vegetable stock to the boil in a large saucepan, add the rinsed rice, and simmer, stirring every few minutes, for 25 minutes until it breaks down into a thick, smooth porridge.
Crack the eggs into the porridge one at a time and poach gently for 3 minutes until the whites are just set but the yolks are still soft.
Stir in the light soy sauce and season with white pepper.
Ladle into bowls and top with the ginger, spring onions and a drizzle of sesame oil.
