What is Congee?

Congee is a type of rice porridge. It is cooked with a water/broth for an extended amount of time until the texture is desired (where the broth is cooked for at least a few hours). Like Pho (Beef Noodle Soup), Congee is packed with healthy flavors such as herbs, meat bones and vegetables. Then when eaten, Congee is served with meat and vegetables.
Congee must serve hot like Pho and it definitely give you the feel-good food on a cold day or feeling under the weather . Congee is one of the most favorite dish in Asia, it is eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner and midnight snack. If you have been to Dim Sum Restaurant, (where you get to eat all different kind of bite-sized buns/dumplings served in a small steamer baskets), Congee is served there as well.
