MY VERSIONAN ORIENTAL STYLESALMON WITH VELVETY CONGEE. ..........LOVING IT

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

I had a bowl of leftover rice from last night. I checked the fridge and found some dried squid and dried shrimp, so I immediately thought of making squid congee to use up the leftover rice. Dried squid congee has a unique sweetness, is both unusual and delicious, easy to eat, and very comforting.

MY VERSIONA LIGHT AND SOOTHING LIGHT MEALRECOVERY AND GET WELL SOON DISHLOVING IT

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. 😊

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.
