Congee is a rice porridge made with many different variations all over asia. It is extremely comforting and is the perfect recipe for cold winter days or when you need some extra comfort. It is often given to those who are feeling ill as it contains easy to digest ingredients that are also nutritious. We made a chicken version with delicious fried shallots and soft-boiled eggs, but there are so many possibilities for different toppings.
