Congee Recipes

Served in a bowl, Congee is a thick Asian comfort food that can soothe a sore throat or just make you feel better after a bad day. The mushrooms and ginger are great for getting your immune system back on track.

Thanks to my friend Yvonne. Congee is a great breakfast food, and very helpful if you have digestive concerns. Yummy with almond milk, bananas, honey, cinnamon -- you name it.

Usually, this is a typical Chinese breakfast but can be served any time throughout the day!

I read about making congee (or jook) online and threw this dish together on a whim. It came out great. It's light on calories and fat, but is tasty and will warm you to your toes. The perfect comfort food for a rainy day.

I love congee for breakfast, especially in the winter months, but I wanted to find a substitute for white rice and I found barley. It turns out barley congee is used in traditional Chinese medecine. Who knew?

This recipes uses some Thai-inspired ingredients, like fish sauce, green onion and cilantro, as it is the congee my mother would make for me as a child (except with white rice!) Instead of pork, you could substitute chicken, fish or vegetables. You could even omit the savoury ingredients and make a sweet congee with fresh or dried fruits and nuts! It's very versatile. :)

Easy recipe for Chinese style porridge, great comfort food. Good to make with meat leftovers from holiday dinners or from scratch.

Nourishing, easy breakfast, can be frozen in individual servings and popped into the microwave for a very fast morning meal.

sweeten with molasses if you must. :)
