About Fish congee

Fish congee is a comforting rice porridge that originates from Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese, Vietnamese, and Filipino culinary traditions. This dish is made by simmering rice in water or broth until it breaks down into a creamy texture. Fresh fish, such as cod, tilapia, or grouper, is gently poached in the porridge, infusing it with subtle flavor. Common additions include ginger, green onions, sesame oil, and sometimes soy sauce or herbs, creating a warm and flavorful bowl. Fish congee is low in fat and rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, making it a heart-healthy option. The ginger often used in the recipe adds anti-inflammatory properties and aids digestion. However, sodium levels may rise if heavily seasoned with soy sauce or broth. It’s a light, nutrient-dense dish that’s easy to digest, making it a go-to comfort food for the unwell or those seeking a nutritive meal.
