Where do you buy the pork floss?
I like to eat them plain.
Add milk instead of water! It will be Saudi Arabia traditional dish ! Wow this is so similar 🫢 oh I forgot about a little detail, I meant chicken broth with powder milk specifically
My rice cooker has a porridge function so I use that and top it with any frozen meat I have when I don't feel like cooking along with garlic and ginger. I like to add furikake, chili crisp and cooked mushrooms after it's done!
That rice porage looks very delicious 🤤😋
I love congee and I always sprinkle sesame oil and lots fried shallots 😅😋 ❤
Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one can go to the Father except through him. Jesus died on the Cross and shed his blood for our sins to save us and he resurrected on the third day defeating death. Knowing Jesus is knowing peace, protection and provision Jesus saves, Jesus heals, Jesus grants peace , Jesus forgives and Jesus loves you. ❤️
It’s so interesting, seems like all Asians have a variation of this – south Asians have kichuri- similar base with fenugreek and aromatics. All varies across countries and region, but it’s a staple comfort food
I like my congee plain, or even with black sesame powder and blueberries
I like my congee watery with assorted mushrooms and ginger with a large side of imitation sour chicken cabbage herb salad!
I have to try!!! Yummy 😋
I’ve made versions of Congee with Malt o Meal or Cream of Wheat, which are very nostalgic wheat based porridges for me growing up in the us, and it worked really well! I want to make it the normal way with rice sometime too
video: it’s congee season
viet: it’s always congee season
That cute face with the British accent really got me! 🧡
Congee is from the Tamil word.
Jok / Jook is from the Chinese word. 粥.
Poached egg is okay. Green onions is okay. Pork floss sounds like factory-processed food. I would use home-made pork floss / roast pork. Sesame oil–meh. I would not add oil at all. Fish sauce is another factory-processed food. I would rather use fish broth from real fish. Chili oil. I would rather use hot pepper powder.
MSG rips up my 💥digestive tract💥! I stopped using it, and everything else in this video’s ingredient list is just DELICIOUS!!
I like congee with dried scallops, ginger and green onions.
Congee season is whenever I’m sick fam.
I like green onion, braised peanuts and sliced red chilli peppers on chicken congee
Does this work with different rices?
Rather than adding salt and seasonings after it's cooked, i was taught to marinade my rice in salt and oil overnight (minimum 30 minutes) before cooking my congee. It's so much more flavorful that way imo. I love having mine with pidan, lamb, white pepper, green onions, pork sung, and some chili oil
South Indian congee that my parents make usually pairs lentils and achar with papadum❤ very comforting and touches the soul
Pickles of some sort. Mustard greens, kimchi, radish, I'm not picky.
Never heard of congee in my life, but it looks like porridge we make in Caribbean countries. Except the egg part. I would like to try this, and the cultural variations shared in the comment section.
Boil the rice with chicken broth/stock, it'll make it even more flavourful 👍
i love congee with a century egg, salted duck egg, and pickled radish!
my most recent obsession was topping with lap cheong, woodear mushrooms, sesame oil, green onions, and sesame seeds! a good reminder for me to whip up a batch of congee 🙂
We also call it “Jook” in Thailand 😋
I make congee in an Instant Pot and include Chinese sausages and frozen chicken thighs or legs, soaked dried shitake mushrooms, slivered ginger, etc.
This looks like grits or polenta. The seasoning idea, definitely worth adding to these similar dishes to create the same flavor. 😊
that's very interesting lol. a rice pudding thing is a stable in my country, Iceland, but its supposed to be sweet, not savoury lol, you have it with cinnamon, sugar, raisins, and a splash of milk or cream. best winter comfort food ever
It’s always congee season as far as I’m concerned!
1. fry ginger garlic onion. Add cleaned rice and stir in sesame oil ( try not to cook with sesame oil for high heat – it goes bitter ) add stock & chicken or fish, & boil until smooth.
Please… no msg… its bad for health
Indians have the same thing and it’s called kanji too.
Nice recipe 😋
Any alternate to MSG?
Best recipe yet ❤
love it with sliced ham, green onions, and chicken broth instead of water
I eat it with a smashed salted duck egg and sliced chinese sausages. I also add a few drops of sichuan pepper oil. Yummy!
This is similar to ressotto yummy
in the states this is done with dried corn is called "grits". So yummy! Is congee always savory? Is it ever sweet?
I put miso in my congee
