5. Add the miso paste and stir until most of the water has evaporated
6. Add 2 cups water and stir. When the porridge has thickened again, add another 2 cups of water. Continue to stir (if the porridge boils too aggressively, take it off the heat to stir)

LAY HO LAY HO ☺️ ***Correction - the daikon was sautéed along with the onions and garlic. Not sure how that was missed, but the recipe directions have been updated! I hope you’re keeping well and keeping warm! What are you going to top your very own congee with? Happy cooking 🥳

[@janisahjohari8105]

Since the rest of my family are not vegan, my kids love to have slices of chicken to their congee n salted egg. As for me, my toppings are always peanuts n soy sauce.

I love congee. In it’s basic form it is incredibly healing and easy to digest. We give it to anyone who is sick, the young, the elderly and to postpartum women. In my home we often eat it for breakfast especially on cold mornings. I like cooking mine in vegetable broth with a few slices of ginger in the slow cooker overnight. I top it with green onion and white pepper and of course seasoned with salt.

[@SoNick25]

Happy New Year! Today Jan 7th in Japan is Seven Grass Congee day to give your stomach a break from all the New Year celebrations with heavy food and alcohol. Easy to digest, warming and delicious. Can't wait to try this one!

I’m definitely eating it tonight!

[@user-yq8fv5nb1v]

I just recently discovered millet(-porridge) for breakfast and I think I will like congee too (I'll definitely give it a try). Where I come from, you normally have bread/ toast with butter/ ham/ cheese for breakfast-a cold breakfast. I never knew breakfast could be so delicious and warming until discovering millet/ buckwheat/ oat porridges - looking forward to giving congee a try! 🥣🍄🧅

Love this chef. He makes cooking so easy and the fact that he doesn't talk continuously like some other cooks makes it so pleasant to listen to. Keep up the amazing cooking Mr. Yeung Man❤

[@dedmanic]

I've grown up on congee. it's not just a dish for being sick or in the cold winter. i love your creativity with your ingredients and toppings. ain't no way any of us Chinese grew up cooking congee in Avocado oil and miso paste (LOL) but hey, that's what's fun about this porridge dish. Kudos for making it your own!

[@bybbah]

Yep I can agree ,even I'm chinese at all ,but I watch so much chinese food blogs and movies .Yes I made it to fit his style.im African but because the close similarities in our way of dressing and cooking ,I came to this channel as well. We also have many dish about the same ,ok we are more familiar with the name porridge, but we have both to cook it with vegetables and seasoning with fish or beef stomach ,and we have porridge with sweets. But the one we have that ressemble this we use peanut butter dried fermented seaweed and seafood, but we on use lamb or beef trips or stomach no meat .and we do it also on rainy season or sick or postnatal recovery dish.waw for the same occasion.

[@lyarnes]

I can just imagine the warmth spreading through my body after eating a bowl of this comfort classic!

[@sb8209]

In the south of India ( coastal town of Mangalore) we call the rice porridge as Ganji. It's a plain rice porridge made with boiled red rice (a local variety of rice), water, and salt. It's a dinner staple and super yummy with some ghee. Served with a piece of fried fish and sauteed green vegetables were my absolute favorites growing up.

[@entertainment-uj7kr]

I will have to try this! It sounds delicious, Indian food is so good!

[@Navin4061]

The word Congee is derived from the Tamil word Kanji.

[@meghanameghana6262]

[@rai3086]

Hmm.. Ganji with meen fry & cabbage upkari 😂, some times with just yetti ( dry shrimp) chutney.

[@ramencurry6672]

His intense voice would be good in serious drama movies

[@marathorne6821]

To my non-expert eye this looks similar to risotto, but obviously in a Chinese iteration. It's so interesting to see how different world cuisines handle staple ingredients in their own ways using the ingredients and flavours available in their countries 😊 Like pizza, pittas, flatbreads and toasties - all variations on a theme, you could say. And isn't it wonderful that nowadays we have access to all these amazing cuisines! Thank you for sharing the treasures of your culture, Wil 🙏

[@Cactina]

You are very observant, he did cook it like a risotto! But it isn't how congee is traditionally cooked.

[@marathorne6821]

@@Cactina thank you.

[@lolilollolilol7773]

@@Cactina How is it traditionnally cooked ?

[@Cactina]

@@lolilollolilol7773 What I found most non traditional is how he added water little by little and kept stirring (similar to cooking risotto). I learned that once poured in, the congee rice should not be stirred because a) that makes the congee starchy/ gloopy and b) that makes the rice stick to the bottom of the pot. The flavors used in this recipe are a bit novel as well, but I think that's because this is a vegetarian version.

[@monowarabegum2954]

I thought the same. It definitely reminded me of Risotto 😋 In India, we make a wholesome and very healthy rice dish called Khichdi/Khichri. It's my go-to dish ❤

[@91rummy]

congee is one of Indian traditional dishes too.. in South of India we call it "ganjee".. we make it in different consistencies.. from very thin to viscous thick .. the thin water-like ganjee is very good for people who stay or work for long hours outdoors in hot sun and to reduce body heat.... the thicker one is good for easy consumption and digestion.. I love congee.. and I was waiting for the chilli oil :D.. Thank you for this new recipe.. it looks delicious ..

[@jjr6777]

Came to the comment section to see if someone drew a parallel btwn the two … especially someone from karnataka!! Wasn’t disappointed I must say😁

In South India we make congee with garlic and little bit of fenugreek with coconut milk. We call it puundu (garlic)congee. We eat it for breakfast. Sometimes we add muringa leaves at the end. Your congee looks so delicious and smooth.

South of India rice porridge is referred as" Kanjee" (language =Tamil) very similar in terms of preparation and ingredients, since we are spice lovers we garnish it with green chillies. Love your recipe, especially the peanuts and sesame garnish. Got to try it. Thank you.

[@saividhyakannan]

@M Wong A south Indian (Tamil - the word conjee comes from there) Kanji is very similar to jok. It was what our grandparents ate and what we were given when we were sick. We usually make it broken rice grains. I was quite excited when I came across jok in Thailand. Reminded me of home 🙂

[@sonyalang2157]

Waking up after a fever while looking from the window at other kids having a blast at playtime... grandma's warmth in her spoonful of 'Khichdi' (indian version of congee with rice lentils tempering and ghee).

I LOVE congee, but I'm usually pretty hungry soon after (since it's mostly white rice = high GI). I like the addition of peanuts + sesame here. It's a nice hack to stay full for longer.

[@bangkokkaren7618]

Congee can also be made with other grains, that might help to stay full for longer. I made a congee today with rice, buckwheat, and millet.

[@AdrianaNS]

@@bangkokkaren7618 That sounds great, I was hoping to avoid using white rice to get more nutrients. Does it work with the same amount of water and time with the other grains?

[@bangkokkaren7618]

@@AdrianaNS Congee is one of those recipes I don't exactly follow the recipe for. I put all the grains in, and a good amount of water/stock. I check it, and add more water, time if the grains are not fully cooked and still chewy. I also prefer a slightly thick congee.

[@AdrianaNS]

@@bangkokkaren7618 That makes sense. I actually made it this AM right after I made my comment. I used barley and sort of guesstimated the amount of liquid. It was super good! Thanks for giving me the idea to use other grains!

This makes me feel some type of way ✨🖤 will save for future use! Thank you!

[@florencechew8242]

Wow..an elaborate dish even though it is the humble congee. It looks delicious and I would like to try cooking this jook, my hubby loves jook. Thanks for sharing and the demo.

[@SineHacker]

This looks so good, perhaps with the exception of the wad of ginger on top 😂 definitely going to try this. I wonder if a pressure cooker would be good for turning the rice into mush 😋

[@debrt1523]

There are several instant pot congee recipes online.

@@debrt1523 thanks Debra

[@yaelzivanartist]

It cooked it in like 14 minutes! I make it every morning in my pressure cooker.

[@tofutuesday]

This looks like Asian risotto. Yum!

[@HiddenAgendas]

You mean risotto looks like Chinese congee. Since Italy also stole Noodles from them.

Omg, you’ve created Smell-O-matic! I swear the aroma is wafting. Looks delish!!! Making this weekend. Thank you. Nice share.

[@jijahzah]

I was eating congee( my version) while watching. Yours caught my eyes with additions of miso paste and tofu crumbles. I have miso and tofu but never thought to add to congee. You are so creative Wil. Thanks for sharing your recipe. All the best for 2022 and may you and your channel keep growing in alignment with your values and goals. Btw I top my congee with crispy fried onions, chili oil ( a must) green onions and sunny side eggs.

It's past midnight and all I can think about is this gorgeous, delish comfort food..... We call it 'GANJI' in South India like 'gun- jee' ..... It's the best thing to eat when you're sick....!!!! I'm craving it really bad rn😭😭

[@varsharao86]

I was about to say the same thing. This is the same Concept as our ganji oota 😋 so comforting

[@Artzenflowers]

I’ve been intrigued by Congee for some time, now I’m obsessed! That looks so delicious.
