I got a yen for comfort food and an anti-yen for having to chew at the moment. What are some good things to mix into a bowl of congee?

Prunes, raisins, and dried apricots cut up to bite-size that has been cooked down a bit with orange juice beforehand.

I always liked it with some crispy youtiao/chak-way whenever I had it in Malaysia.

Ooh, I know a place where I can get some. I will try that.

Is that not a common topping in other countries? It's pretty much standard among Chinese Malaysians.

I'm American and congee isn't in my cultural context. I started making it last year when I ran across a recipe that used bacon and quick pickled shallots but I'm interested in alternatives

Traditional toppings for Chinese zhou you would eat at a dim sum would be something like green onion, rousong/meat floss, century egg, and whatever the hell these are. Youtiao accompanies zhou. You could eat them separately or cut slices of youtiao and put them into the zhou or even dunk the youtiao into the zhou and eat it like that.

Fried wonton skin ig?

Yeah, I think that's what they are.

Haven't tried century eggs before - are they an acquired taste?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

They are. You're supposed to dice them into little pieces and put them in the zhou like that.

I liked them three first time I tried them. If you like blue cheese it's a similar story of taste.
