    What is Congee?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Congee is one of my new favorite comfort foods that I discovered when playing around with recipes from a Chinese cookbook. It’s essentially an Asian rice pudding* made by cooking rice in lots of water (way more than usual!). I can’t get over its ridiculously<\/em> silky and porridge-like consistency. It’s usually served for breakfast in East Asia (plain or topped with protein, green onions, sesame oil, and\/or chili oil), but this Turmeric Ginger Congee recipe is a Chinese-Indian fusion that’s hearty and savory, making for a cozy lunch or dinner. (*Note: <\/em>many Asian cultures feature their own variation of congee, but I first came across it in my exploration of Chinese cuisine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In a quest to create a cozy and comforting winter-friendly recipe I combined two of my favorite things: congee<\/strong> and warm Indian spices<\/strong>. The congee is infused with turmeric and ginger, then finished with a tadka (Indian spices tempered in oil) to highlight the delicate flavor notes that can be lost during long cooking times. Crispy mushrooms and baked tofu are my toppings of choice and I know you’ll love them, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Best of all, making this white rice porridge is fuss-free<\/strong>. Use your Instant Pot or the stove to make the congee, then bake the mushrooms and tofu. The result is a filling meal to indulge in for lazy weekends, meal prep, or after a long day.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
