    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.

      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

    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

    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

    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.

      How much salt and oil? Any particular oil?

    • @foreverlearning9613
      @foreverlearning9613 4 года назад

      @@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!

    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.

    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.

    chicken stock is much better than water...marinating rice in preserved duck worked out well, too...much tastier

    Honestly this is pretty similar to my moms Mexican caldo de pollo she ads the chicken with the rice but the toppings are avocado and Serrano peppers lol

    Rice porridge! We eat this all the time - breakfast, lunch, dinner. Just change a few ingredients and yum!!

    We call this in the Philippines Chicken Arroz Caldo. I usually top it off with ginger strips, chopped scallions, fried garlic, white pepper (or black) and a dash of patis ((fish sauce). This is the king of comfort foods. Thank you, Casey for your recipe with the century egg.
