This is a traditional low-cost comfort food. It’s great to eat this when you’re sick or it’s super cold outside.

The ultimate mix is when you get “You Tiao” with the congee and some sweetened soy milk. 

Ingredients

2 cups of rice

1 pot of water

4 thousand year old eggs

2 pork chops

Directions

1. Wash the Rice
2. Debone your pork chops
3. Fill your soup pot half way with water and pour in your washed rice and pork chop bones
4. Cook for 30 min on medium high heat, stir occasionally. If rice gets too thick, feel free to add cold water to thin it out
5. Meanwhile, take the meat of the pork chops and salt it very generously. Let it sit for 15 min.
6. Pour out the liquid that seeps out of the pork and then slice it into strips. Salt generously again and let it sit for 5 min.
7. Once your rice is congee smooth, toss your salted pork strips into the congee and stir until all the pork is cooked through.
8. Now peel and slice your thousand year old eggs and toss it into the congee just as you’re about to serve it.
9. Put a freshly fried You Tiao on the side and viola! Delicious warm and filling meal.
