🇨🇳 China recipe
Congee
A silky, comforting rice porridge that is eaten across China for breakfast, as a late-night snack, or as a restorative meal during illness. Long-grain rice is simmered low and slow in an abundance of water or stock until the grains break down completely into a creamy, velvety porridge that is the ultimate blank canvas for savoury toppings.
