Congee


The ultimate chinese comfort food.  I used 12 cups of water and 2 cups of rice for this consistency,.  Bring to boil the water and rice, and then simmer on low for about 30-40 minutes.  I also added two pork neck bones in for flavor.  I have pork neck bones in my freezer, and I prep it by boiling it in hot water for about 5 minutes to get rid of any impurities, before I store it in the freezer.

Stir constantly - that's probably the hardest thing to do with congee - you always have to keep an eye on it.  I tossed in bits of fish fillet  (marinated in soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch) toward the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
