Savory Fish Congee

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Fish Congee.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious congee, grab a large stockpot and pour in the chicken stock and water.

2. Step 2

   Add in the white rice, apple cider vinegar, fish sauce, freshly grated ginger, a pinch of salt, and a splash of sesame oil.

3. Step 3

   Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a lively boil over medium-high heat.

4. Step 4

   Once it’s bubbling away, lower the heat to let it simmer gently, leaving the pot uncovered.

5. Step 5

   This is where the magic happens—let it simmer for about three hours, giving it a stir now and then, until it transforms into a creamy, light porridge consistency.

6. Step 6

   When your congee has thickened beautifully, it’s time to add the sliced fish.

7. Step 7

   Gently stir it in and let it simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the fish is perfectly cooked through.

8. Step 8

   Now, for the grand finale, ladle the warm congee into bowls and adorn it with your favorite toppings: pickled vegetables for a tangy crunch, slices of savory roast pork, a sprinkle of chopped scallions for freshness, and a handful of crushed peanuts for that delightful crunch.

   Don’t forget to drizzle a little vinegar and soy sauce over the top to elevate the flavors.
