Comments on: Congee (Chinese Rice Porridge) http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/06/16/winter-warmer-congee/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Coming from a chinese family we ate quite a bit of congee growing up and always plain congee with a dash of soy when we were sick. Many years ago when I was sick I wanted congee and my non chinese Canadian husband attempted to make it, poor thing ended up making a pot of what resembled riostto ! :) this recipe will come in handy.

I just made this YUM! I halved the recipe and it was enough for three people to have two serves each. On top I added hard boiled egg, cabbage, chili and coriander Mmmm:) Yay! I just made this YUM!

WOAH SO GOOD! I don't see why so many people are scared of chicken feet when they will happily eat chicken wings, drumsticks, liver pate....take away! Two questions: 1. Can I make this with normal long grain rice? 2. Do I mix the meat and the onion, walnut etc and place that into the rice to cook? OR do I only mix in the meat? Thanks:) I tried congee for the first time on the weekend, along with chicken feet. WOAH SO GOOD!

I try to as much as possible :) I think you might want to do double the quantity depending on what else you're serving as I think 1 cup of rice would serve perhaps 5 people best :) Hi Micheline-Aww thanks!

You always reply to our comments. I want to make congee for 10 people. Will your recipe (1 cup rice - 10 cups stock) cater for 10 people? Thanks Hi Lorraine, you are so wonderful.

I agree, it's great for some days when you need something easy and comforting :) Hi Mary-Ahh medicinal congee, I've never tried that! Mulberries would seem rather odd in it I agree! :) Hi Micheline-Sadly I don't think you can make it with sticky rice as it will produce a dish with a very different texture. Sorry! :) Hi Beau-Fantastic! I agree, it’s great for some days when you need something easy and comforting :)

All congee recipes I see are made with short grain rice. I have a packet of sticky rice at home and was wondering if the congee will turn out all right? Thank you Hi, can we make congee with sticky rice? All congee recipes I see are made with short grain rice.

Except when my Mum makes 'medicinal' congee where she put walnuts in it (no meat or flavouring, just walnuts). I think the worst one was when she put mulberries in it. *shudder* I like congee too!
