Congee is a traditional rice porridge enjoyed across many Asian cuisines, including Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Filipino. Made by simmering rice slowly in water or broth until it reaches a creamy consistency, congee is often customized with savory or sweet toppings, such as vegetables, meats, seafood, herbs, or condiments like soy sauce. Nutritious and comforting, it serves as a versatile meal or snack, particularly valued for its easy digestibility, making it a popular choice for improving recovery during illness. Though low in fat, congee’s nutritional content largely depends on the ingredients added; incorporating lean proteins and vegetables enhances its health benefits, while excess salt or rich toppings may increase sodium or calorie levels. Simple, filling, and customizable, congee is a warm and nourishing staple dish deeply rooted in Asian culinary tradition.
