    "If you didn't feel 100%, you definitely would after that.", I can confirm. This is my comfort food every time I've had a cold or flu. I usually have it with pork meatballs or sliced chicken instead of duck, and in addition to the ginger and shallots, I have fried onions or garlic, soy sauce and siracha or sliced chilli. (I like spicy, and feel like spicy cures colds). It always makes me feel so much better!

    I gave a slight criticism and got banned on another page. I'm very sorry your skins are so thin. Maybe make a pudding, and not a bread pudding or a sausage you call pudding, just pudding and use that as your guide. I didn't stomp on your food, not once, just what you called your food when it didn't fit.

    Your recipe and video don't quite match, what about sesame oil, the peanuts aren't mentioned… Too bad… But I still like your channel, the creativity and originality! Thanks

    Another future tip: my family always toasts the rice after rinsing and before throwing it in the pot to cook. Put it into a non stick pan without oil and stir occasionally until it’s golden. Adds some extra flavor to the congee itself (or chao, as it’s called in vietnamese) and a little color to the final product too.

    quick note – you can't make congee in a rice cooker (unless it has a timer on it/ has a congee setting), most basic rice cookers only use a weight sensor, ie it doesn't stop unless all the liquid is absorbed into the rice, and in the case of congee that will almost be impossible and you will risk overpowering the cooker and starting an electric fire.

    honestly, i live in china and congee never appeals to me (as someone who is from the other side of the world), but this video always makes me want to try it like this because it just looks so good here.

    My land lady makes congee every time I'm sick. She's from Indonesia and uses deep fried shredded chicken (until moisture is removed, leaving dry flakey but flavorfull chicken shredding) as a topping with a sweet reduced soy sauce.

    I grew up calling it jook. My dad said his grandma would use leftover bones. to cook the rice with, plus Chinese sausage and whatever veggies they had on hand. Dad said the biggest pot was always made after Thanksgiving with the leftover turkey bones. So jook is a really good way to use up leftovers and/or when you have really wonky amounts of meat and veggies in the fridge and you need to make the next day a grocery day.

    We have duck porridge in Singapore too, but the duck is braised with a soya sauce base with loads of spices (e.g. five spice). It is served with braised eggs, peanuts, spring onions and ginger slices. The garnishes might differ from stall to stall. 🙂

    So, you can skip the hole 2 hours of simmering thing if you cook it at a higher heat and keep an eye on it (and I mean /really/ keep an eye on it). Once it starts looking like it does in the video you just have to stir it every other minute or so so that it doesn't stick and burn in the pot until you get it to the consistency you want.
