This is another way to make basic congee, except waaay faster! Basic Congee is Cantonese style of rice porridge, cooked down to a dreamy creaminess that beats every other rice porridge you'll ever have! This basic congee is then mixed with other meat and veggie ingredients to make the final delectable congee-as-meal dish.
Congee is a wonderful comfort food, pleasing to both the tummy and the heart. But basic congee such as our Basic Congee with Dried Scallops and Tofu Skin takes quite a while to cook. My hubby discovered this alternative Basic Congee with Century Egg 皮蛋粥 that not only cuts the cooking time by two-thirds but also tastes just as if not more delicious.
