Congee

Flu season is approaching and the cold weather and rainy days are endless. Warm food in this weather is best.

Congee - is basically considered as porridge or thick soup. Congee is best eaten in this season,  it warms up my stomach and especially when i'm coming down with the flu its the only solid thing I can eat!

This dish is popular throughout many asian countries, its popularity has also been introduced in the Western culture. Its proper name is called chao (Vietnamese) and jau (Bengali) which is derived from a Chinese character zhou (粥, Mandarin). Basically there are many variations of congee is many cultures.

With congee you can eat it with fish, seafood, meat, century egg. My personal favourite is century egg, its delicate taste and very delicious!
