Chinese congees (Chinese: 粥; pinyin: zhōu; Cantonese Yale: jūk) vary considerably by region. Congee (Cantonese jook or Mandarin zhōu) is a typical Chinese breakfast food. It's a savory rice porridge that can be eaten plain, with a few condiments.
To get started with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have chinese congee( zhou) using 7 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Chinese Congee( Zhou):
- Make ready 1/2 cup rice(I used short grain)
- Get 1 cup water
- Prepare 1 cup Chicken Stock( you can use beef if you like)
- Take Add Ins(Optional, but recommended)
- Prepare 1 Meat of your choice ; shredded or cut up into pieces
- Take 1 Vegetables: I recommend using either cabbage or mushrooms.( I used cabbage for this recipe)
- Make ready 1 Thousand year old eggs( pi dan) (This is what you would find in most congee prepared in takeout/resturant places)
It gets umami flavor from dried shrimp, dried scallops, and shiitake mushrooms. Is congee a rice dish or a soup dish? A visitor wrote about a thick soup made from rice and minced pork. What's the Chinese equivalent of "chicken soup"?
Instructions to make Chinese Congee( Zhou):
- I recommend using a Dutch oven . If you don't that is fine too. Place the rice,.water, and stock into a pot. Stir and bring to a boil.(Make sure to not fully cover the pot because because the it can bubble over easily and make a big mess! )
- While it is being brought to a boil, you can cook and prepare any add ins if you are using any. Set it aside. We will add this later in the cooking process .
- After the rice and liquid mixture has been brought to a boil, add 1/2 cup of water and them bring it to a boil again. Remember to stir often. Then after the second boil, add 1/2 of a cup of stock. Bring it to a boil again. Keep repeating and alternating between water and stock until you reach your desired consistency. You can add more stock to water. This will result in a creamier and thicker congee. More water will result in more of a runny consistency, and not as much flavor. This congee is different from ones prepared outside because the ones outside are made with all water. In my opinion ,this is much more flavorful because of the stock!
- After it has reached your desired consistency, add any of the add ins. Season to taste.
- Serve and enjoy!
