Congee with ham and salted egg
Although the ingredients for this porridge recommended today are inconspicuous, the taste of the finished product is really extraordinary. It is called fresh!

I use Xuanwei ham brought back from Yunnan and the finished salted egg yolk. These two things are salty and fresh. They are added to the porridge and cooked together to dilute their salty taste. Instead, the meat and eggs are all freshly melted into the porridge. The strong and long-lasting taste is unmatched by fresh eggs and fresh meat. It is really a classic!

    Since salted eggs and ham are already very salty, and the stock I added was also seasoned, I did not add any salt when cooking this congee. However, if your stock is unsalted, you will still need to add a little salt while cooking.
