How to Make Easy Asian Congee (Rice Porridge): The Aimless Cook

[TheZero696]

hey ! thats a woman job !

[crazylade]

Century Eggs are also known as Preserved Duck Eggs for those people wondering :)

[AntithesisArkady]

When I lived in Hawai'i my family would use left over turkey the day after thanksgiving. It's a great way to use leftover meats, veggies ect... Not to mention it's a great way to feed a large amount of people. You just make the congee and lay out all the ingredients.

[MrJingjong]

@AntithesisArkady That's a great idea for leftover Thanksgiving food. Thanks for that!

[imtonylai]

you are awesome man!

[eotu]

Thought you did a good job explaining and showing how to do it. Just a little feedback camera shots were nice you looked good congee looked good background music was distracting :) I look forward to your other videos :)

[stargirlvictoria]

Itadakimasu!

[kissiebooashes]

Mmmm congee is my favorite breakfast. Cooked spicy shrimp and Kemchii is my favorite combo. ^.^

[YukiTsuki101]

Got a question does it matter what kind of rice I use? Because I tried it with long grain rice once and I don't know if i didn't put enough water or if congee can't be made with long grain rice but I ended up with dried white rice :/

[MrJingjong]

@YukiTsuki101 You can use medium to long grain rice. The important part is the amount of water you use. You should use a lot of water to the amount of rice. If I were to give you a guess... about 1/2 cup rice to 6 cups of water. I like a medium grain rice for congee.

[YukiTsuki101]

@MrJingjong ty :D

[cliffcox66]

We called them 1000 year old eggs, or 100 year old eggs. Hated them. I went the Thai route. Beat eggs, with fish sauce, a little water to puff it up, and pepper and chopped onions. Fried it up and served as side. Along with pickled cabbage, and shredded pork and Chinese sausage.

[MrJingjong]

@cliffcox66 That sounds awesome...and I happen to have lop cheong in the fridge. Thanks for the great suggestion!

[dannisjc]

I love it with kim, green onion, sesame oil and seseds.

[Rick4ever1234]

Wow... how is that egg black? From what animal does that come from?

[MrJingjong]

@Rick4ever1234 Check out 2:28 on my repulsive food video.

[Rick4ever1234]

@MrJingjong What? I didn't really understand your answer sorry

[L33W41K41]

We cook it with ginger and pieces of chicken. We eat it with pickled lettuce xD

[L33W41K41]

We call it "Moi"

[MrElefuntastic]

@L33W41K41 Im a Malaysian chinese and i speak hokkien. We call it moi too.

[L33W41K41]

@MrElefuntastic Yay! :D

[kansai062281]

Eating congee with fried tofu dipped in soy sauce and a little bit of vinegar is good too :)

[MrJingjong]

@kansai062281 now you're talkin'

[Chownz]

Kia ora,

Thanks for the recipe! I didn't realised that it was that easy to make, I tried it the other day. And I used spring onion, sliced BBQ pork, bamboo shoots and boiled egg!! Sorry I never tried century egg - its scares me when I see them in my local Asian market!! But love congee... Yummy

Ka kite ano

[MrJingjong]

@Chownz Never be afraid. You may be delightfully surprised. Thank you for watching!

[Chownz]

@MrJingjong Thanks for the encouragement! Next week when I stock up - I'll brave it and ask the lovely Chinese girl for one! Okay that's one reason why I shop at my local Asian market!?! I'm a guy after all folks!! LOL

[MrJingjong]

@Chownz see? Who knows what will come from that chance encounter... go for it!

[shuzzbutts]

i always, always top my congee with shreded ginger , fish sauce ans sesame oil

[wolfinfairy]

that would look good with honey, and what is a century egg?

[MrJingjong]

@wolfinfairy Century egg is a Chinese preserved duck egg that was covered in a mixture of ash, clay, lime and rice hulls and left for weeks (even months) til they turn black and taste unbelievable. They are very popular in congee.

[QueenOfHeads]

I did mine with ground beef seasons in hosin sauce, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and a bit of sesame oil; celery seasoned with ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil; a soft boiled egg; and green onion. Very yum yum! Thank you so much! <3 Great video!

[MrJingjong]

@QueenOfHeads sounds awesome!

[MrJingjong]

@QueenOfHeads hoisin sauce sounds awesome in congee. Great idea!

[susiebeemee]

Can I do this in my rice cooker? I noticed you had rinsed the rice in your pot to the cooker and it made me wonder. Thanks, Susie

[MrJingjong]

@susiebeemee Yes, you can make it in the rice cooker. That's how I made it the first time, but my cooker is small. You need lots of room to cook it.

[runnyrunny999]

Okayu? Looks a lot like お粥. reminds me of my childhood.

[MrJingjong]

@runnyrunny999 はいお粥みたい！My mom used to make this for me whenever I was sick. She made it like JoyMac13's. We call it Arroz Caldo.

[LeJorges]

I really like your videos. It flows and its really clean. Very entertaining to watch. I'll try and make a sweet congee.

[MrJingjong]

@LeJorges Thanks for your support! I hope you like the next one.

[bestiaccia]

[CHOCOEVA123]
