A visitor wrote about a thick soup made from rice and minced pork. I was quite puzzled at first. What's the Chinese equivalent of "chicken soup"? Why congee, or 粥, of course, that delectable, nourishing and soothing rice porridge cooked by the Chinese since time began.

Instructions to make Chinese Congee( Zhou):

1. I recommend using a Dutch oven . If you don't that is fine too. Place the rice,.water, and stock into a pot. Stir and bring to a boil.(Make sure to not fully cover the pot because because the it can bubble over easily and make a big mess! )
2. While it is being brought to a boil, you can cook and prepare any add ins if you are using any. Set it aside. We will add this later in the cooking process .
3. After the rice and liquid mixture has been brought to a boil, add 1/2 cup of water and them bring it to a boil again. Remember to stir often. Then after the second boil, add 1/2 of a cup of stock. Bring it to a boil again. Keep repeating and alternating between water and stock until you reach your desired consistency. You can add more stock to water. This will result in a creamier and thicker congee. More water will result in more of a runny consistency, and not as much flavor. This congee is different from ones prepared outside because the ones outside are made with all water. In my opinion ,this is much more flavorful because of the stock!
4. After it has reached your desired consistency, add any of the add ins. Season to taste.
5. Serve and enjoy!
