  • Congee with preserved egg and shredded pork Make Tips

    1. After marinating the rice with oil and salt, it becomes softer and more tender, sweeter, and absorbs flavors more easily. 2. A congee base simmered with lean meat cubes and dried scallops is more savory and aromatic than a plain white congee base. Adding shredded meat mixed with salt and fish sauce yields a texture that is more tender and smooth, and a flavor that is richer compared to using sliced meat.
