Congee (粥) — Chinese Rice Porridge
Chinese (Cantonese) · East Asia
Top Pick
STOVETOP
7/10
Rice simmered until completely broken down into a smooth, silky porridge, topped with century egg, pork, or fish.
Why It Works
Extended simmering causes rice starch granules to burst and gelatinize, creating a naturally thick, creamy porridge; the bland base is a canvas for bold, funky toppings like century egg.
Key Ingredients
jasmine rice
chicken or pork stock
century egg
pork mince
ginger
scallions
fried dough sticks
