I got the congee bug again. I changed my diet, gone lighter and healthier - spring clean out . Congee for breakfast .
If you dont know it is a rice porridge . Start with pre cooked medium grain (or 'broken' ) rice and a lot of water and a heap of grated ginger . Cook it down until it turns to porridge and bubbles like a mud pit . Top with favorites. Mine are very specific and in order . I have small bowl of red sliced chili soaked in rice vinegar , Put congee in bowl spoon some of the vinegar on it . Then some diced steamed chicken breast , splash fish sauce on that, Then chopped Chinese mung sprouts, splash light soy on that, then chopped fresh coriander , then some dry crunchy Asian fried shallots and then some of pickled red chili on top .
Mmmmm- MM !
Other ingredients can be little fried fish, bits of tofu, various chili sauces, mushroom, egg, be imaginative ! One of my favourite things I did at work was set up the 'congee bar ' - it was very popular .
