Personalise this Congee Recipe

Jasmine rice is the usual choice of rice for congee. However, you can always opt for other rice grains, such as brown or black rice. But remember that different types of rice grains will have different cooking times. Feel free to replace the pork with chicken too! We guarantee it’ll be as delicious. You can add toppings to your congee as well. The usual toppings are chopped cilantro, sliced green onion, and fried dough sticks! These toppings will make your congee super tasty, and add extra texture.
