Asian rice porridge with vegetables and eggs

Combine rice, water, salt, oil, and soup vegetables in a pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer on low heat for 1.5 hours (1-2 of 9), stirring occasionally. Add water according to the desired thickness of the congee; the more you stir, the more the rice and soup vegetables will break down into a smooth mixture. Just before serving, bring back to a boil, crack the eggs into the congee, and mix well.
