The first time I ever made congee was an accident: I was trying to make arroz con pollo one night after coming home super drunk, and put WAY too much water in the pot. I then fell asleep (on the floor of the kitchen) for at least an hour. I may have had a bit of a drinking problem in my youth, but damn, was that congee good.

[@thunderkrux7745]

Funny enough. The first time I made congee, I didn't put ENOUGH water so came out more like risotto. Still tasted delicious and still felt like soul food

Wow! What an feel-good story! Love memories like this!

Not feeling well today and it’s cold and rainy. I’m making this as we speak and my kitchen smells amazing! Thank you for this awesome recipe 💖

This is also my go to comfort meal when I'm sick.Remember how much I looked forward to having this when I was sick in my childhood.

[@paulwoolrich4765]

First and foremost thank you for sharing and secondly but not last the congee was delicious. Few things that i was hesitant about was the century egg i had never ever seen one or tasted one, bought then and while mixing it with the rice i was really doubtful because the smell was gross. The amount of rice didn’t seem to be enough, another that bluffed me was cooking the chicken with it the remaining rice heat. I followed your directions and everything worked out as you mentioned. One thing that I thought it was hilarious was that throughout the whole video you kept on telling people that you liked it simple, but there is nothing simple about this recipe took me like 5 hours to make, taking into account taking the bones apart from the chicken, chopping, marinating, cooking etc. But it was well worth it, thanks again

[@LaundryFaerie]

In the first week of the pandemic, I made chicken congee for the first time. I MADE SO MUCH CONGEE DURING THE PANDEMIC Y'ALL

Chicken porridge is my favorite. This looks so yummy and comforting.

[@_cynthiajanette]

This reminds me of how I like to make Caldo de pollo(chicken soup🇲🇽)... which I just make a simple version of it with just carrots and potatoes for veggies and I add rice to it so it cooks with the soup but I add the veggies and rice early on so they end up over cooking a bit so they end up more mushy which makes the broth thicker .... which is probably nowhere near what congee is but it’s fascinating to see how for that most part the same ingredients can turn into two dishes that are very different yet similar in weird way

[@cliftonaurelius3060]

Yo your congee looks so freaking dope, like restaurant quality

[@maritesaquino7675]

After trying 4 or 5 recipes of chinese congee on youtube, this is by far the best i've ever tasted. Better than the best congee place here in the phils. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe with the world. 😋

[@jennig8824]

Wow! Just tried your method cooking the slices of chicken in the residue heat, mind blowingly good, only I did have it simmering until all the chicken was in then turned off the heat and left it for 10 min, it was melt in yor mouth moist chicken. Thank you so much for sharing. Love from Australia ❤🇦🇺

[@larabellll]

I started making congee for the first time yesterday and couldn’t finish it before it was too late so just stopped at the broth... I was worried though because it has been really hot out. But..... I woke up this morning to finish it - it’s been pouring rain and cold !!!!! Perfect congee weather :D

Mushing the century egg (agree it’s a must) with the raw rice is a technique new to me and I’ve read quite a few congee recipes! I’ll try it. Thanks for sharing your mom’s secret to great congee.

[@a_mamj]

casey, you speak/explain really well!!

[@foreverlearning9613]

Century egg is very alkaline and helps break down the rice. Makes a big difference in texture of the jook if it’s not used. Sometimes if I don’t have the egg available I use salt and oil and marinate the rice for an hour or so.

[@MyZenTime]

How much salt and oil? Any particular oil?

[@foreverlearning9613]

@@MyZenTime I honestly just eye it, a few rounds of oil - I guess around 1 tbps (any type will do) and a teaspoon or so of salt. Depends on how much rice you use, and what type of rice. I found that if using brown rice, I end up using a little extra because of the rice bran, and you will also need to let it marinate a couple more hours. Last week I made a brown rice version in my Breville pressure cooker. Originally 30 minutes high pressure with 15 natural steam release with white rice is fine, but I found that I needed to cook extra 15 minutes for the brown rice to get the same consistency. Experimentation is key, more/less rice and liquid ratio - some people like runnier consistency, some (like me), like thicker consistency (think of Scottish oatmeal that you can almost stand a spoon on). You can literally put anything you wish in it - pork, beef, chicken, seafood, vegetables, etc. Good luck!

This is what I was looking for. Not every corner of the world has century egg readily available at the corner store!

[@cindydee37]

I've been eating congee since I was a infant and didn't even know it was actually congee.. I just thought it was thick chicken soup with rice. My grandfather was half Chinese half African (from Surinam) and my mom used to make it for him when he became a senior. I love being 1/8 Chinese since I know a bunch chinese of dishes to cook... (I know I don't look Asian at all like my mom does unfortunately) I make a really large pot of congee once a month and put the leftovers in vacuum bags in my freezer so I always have some when I need some comfort food after I had a migraine or feel under the weather. Thanks for sharing your recipe Casey it's totally different from the one I make usually.

[@arnie3631]

Jay Empy The Philippines and Mexico were both colonies of the States. Both have a shared political and economic history. The Philippines was ruled by Spain from Mexico. Goods from the East was brought to Spain through Mexico via the Galleon Trade. There are dishes in both countries that are called similarly: menudo, adobo, caldereta, paella, tamales-but are cooked differently

[@Beckala67]

@@user-zl6ck9wf7b Spain ruled the Philippines for 333 years, from 1565 until 1898. Compare that to how long Mexico was ruled by Spain, 300 years from 1521 until 1821. So the Spanish influence lasted longer in the Philippines than Mexico.

You can do all this in 2.5 hours in slow cooking. My method. For 1-6 paxs servings (rice bowl) 1 Large Chicken Thigh. Debone & skin. (bite size) Marinate chicken (thin stirip ginger, green scallion oil, chinese wine/brandy, light soya sauce, sesame oil) & put in fridge. 3. Cooked Rice 2-3 rice bowl (blender finely with water). Thigh bones & add 1 clean chopped chicken carcass. (On boiling, Slow fire, stir frequent to ensure porridge not stick botton. U can cover lid with litter open lid so that porridge won't spill) Porridge texture shd be watery cook ready to desire thickness. I like more to perfect balance just right to slight watery. I like to put few slices ginger to rid meat smell. Add pinch pink salt, some green scallion oil. Porridge shd be ready 2 to 2.5 hrs. Almost ready. 2 hrs, take out bones & put marinated chicken into porridge & stir fried chopped green scallion into porridge. Boil another 15 mins & taste porridge & serve. Toppings fresh green chopped scallions. Fried Green Scallion & Fragrant Oil Preparation Few Stalks Green scallion & parsley chopped / just green scallions in bowl. Put good portion oil to wok & 1 teaspn pink salt, 1 tablespn oyster sauce & fried scallion just short while & take out.

To get a rich broth cook chicken 3 to 4 hours, stalk of celery one whole white onion uncut, the reason why chicken soup or broth is healing when ill..its the nutrients from the bones of the meat, skim the brown but leave the oils, flavor broth with extra chicken powder if you like , rinse rice many times, add rice , cook another hour or 90 minutes, stir occasionally in beginning, put lid on very low heat..break chicken up , thin slice ginger and green onions, put congee in bowl surround edge of rice with soy sauce, add chicken, ginger , green onions and you have a beautiful healthy warm dish.

The century year egg mixed with the rice, really surprised me. Getting a good chicken broth starts with browning the bones in an oven and cooking it for a long time. My ex-girlfriend would brown the shells of prawns and then remove them. It adds a richness that makes it even better. I really like pumpkin congee as well.

[@paulwoolrich4765]

Wow the browning of the shells and stuff sound great can you share the recipes?

[@shilohk38]

@@paulwoolrich4765 The recipe is just based on what you have available. Usually brown a 1lb of chicken bones, & and seafood shells you might have on hand. The seafood adds a richness but also makes it sweet. Once you have your broth, you can cook a whole chicken in it, and then you add rice for congee. I add ginger & toasted sesame oil at the end. Taste as you go and adjust to your tastes. Hope that helps.
