Congee with Carrot and Sausage

Bitter Melon is nutritious, but has a strong flavor. It's the main reason why I believe mixing it with this specific comfort food dish COULD help a person overcome a cold.Take note that I am using a YumAsia brand rice cooker that has a porridge option. So how I am making this dish will be different from how you will be able to make it.I'm honestly posting this so that I remember how I made it when I get sick again~

At times when we feel sick or uninterested to have food; we tend to turn towards medicine, whereas a few home remedies might do the trick for a first line defense.

A VELVET CONGEE.........GREAT AS BABY FOOD OR SOUP FOR VERY HOT SUMMER

One of the easiest and most healthy meal, which can be eaten anytime of the day! This Chinese traditional breakfast recipe, is enjoyed equally by all members in a family, even by infants. As it is very easy on the tummy, porridge is also often prepared and served during convalescence from illness. A warm bowl of congee, is easy to make and serves as a nutritious and hearty breakfast in winters.

Traditional Chinese congee is always one of my favorite dishes. Addition of pumpkin makes this dish even more suiting for when the weather is turning cold. Bonus little tip to let you make congee in an hour.

I love dim sum and my husband loves congee. So I decided I would make him some in the instant pot. Chillies in oil, sesame seasoning and voila.

Rainny day meal :)

A comforting one bowl dish cooked in the rice cooker. Chop all vegetables to equal pieces for even cooking. You can add any veggies you like. I did not cook the chinese seaweed, instead I lay it at the bottom of the containers/bowls. You can also cook it together with the congee.

Super easy breakfast that you can make in less than 10mins. I had leftover pumpkins from our weekend lunch and just needed to mash them in with the oatmeal. You can use roasted pumpkins or microwave them (like I did) for 8 mins on medium (700W).

This congee is rich in nutrients yet not difficult to digest. Shepherd's purse can be replaced by spinach. Fish ball can be substitute with any meat you want in small portion.

Sweet Pumpkin Congee

Thick, delicious and comforting congee perfect for a quick easy #vegan meal. The grated lotus root helps to quickly thicken the congee without having to spend hours stirring it. Super easy and fast recipe. Just mix and cooked everything in the rice cooker. Ingredients are listed in approximate amounts, easily adjustable depending on what you have on hand!

I used to think that making congee required waking up early to cook and standing by the stove to watch it (worried it might burn or spill over if covered). Then I had a sudden idea—why not try using my newly discovered slow cooker? I'm happy to say it worked, and I made a delicious pot of hot congee. I wanted to share this with everyone to try!

This can be made quickly, making it perfect for busy mornings, a simple lunch, or when you want to eat less. It's also great for when you're feeling under the weather or have a hangover.The story behind this recipeThe theme is delicious, fun, and easy!

Turmeric, the miracle spice, is so "in" these days because of its health benefits. Since turmeric is already commonly added to steamed rice, why not add it to a congee (or lugaw in Filipino, or Arroz Caldo, or porridge)!The twist in this Chicken Arroz Caldo or lugaw recipe, aside from the Turmeric addition, is that I've pushed the "healthy" factor by using brown and red rice instead of white or sticky rice. Sounds good, hey? :)This dish is perfect for cold nights and rainy days. 😊
