Chinese Congee( Zhou)
Cooking Instructions
- 1
I recommend using a Dutch oven . If you don't that is fine too. Place the rice,.water, and stock into a pot. Stir and bring to a boil.(Make sure to not fully cover the pot because because the it can bubble over easily and make a big mess! )

While it is being brought to a boil, you can cook and prepare any add ins if you are using any. Set it aside. We will add this later in the cooking process .

After the rice and liquid mixture has been brought to a boil, add 1/2 cup of water and them bring it to a boil again. Remember to stir often. Then after the second boil, add 1/2 of a cup of stock. Bring it to a boil again. Keep repeating and alternating between water and stock until you reach your desired consistency. You can add more stock to water. This will result in a creamier and thicker congee. More water will result in more of a runny consistency, and not as much flavor. This congee is different from ones prepared outside because the ones outside are made with all water. In my opinion ,this is much more flavorful because of the stock!

After it has reached your desired consistency, add any of the add ins. Season to taste.

Chinese Cabbage Stew Chinese Cabbage Stew
My main objective is to just use up a lot of Chinese cabbage. It's good because it's flavored with the stew roux that everyone loves!When heating leftovers the next day, it depends on how much is left, but try adding more chopped Chinese cabbage. If half the stew is left over, 2 to 3 leaves should be enough.Even if you add onions you won't really notice they're in there, so you might as well not bother.So much Chinese cabbage can be added that you might be surprised, but it all blends in very well. Add the cores first, then the green leaf tips last.You can even use up wilted, sad-looking Chinese cabbage. Recipe by Shijimi24
