Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, 6 cups of water or vegetable broth, and 1/2 tsp salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low heat and cover.
Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice becomes soft and the congee reaches your desired consistency.
In the last few minutes of cooking, bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Poach the eggs to your liking.
To serve, ladle the hot congee into bowls, top each with a poached egg, and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil if desired.
Add fresh ginger slices for extra flavor if you like. Serve warm.
