Pork Congee with Century Egg

Congee, or jook in Cantonese, is a nutritious rice porridge that is eaten at dim sum, as a cozy comfort food or a tried-and-true when you’re feeling under the weather. The simplest version of congee is made with just rice, water and salt, so it is easily digestible and a blank slate for any flavor. There are many varieties of congee across Asian cuisines — but this recipe focuses on the popular Cantonese combination of salted pork and century egg.
