Few dishes are as comforting as a bowl of congee, and this rice congee recipe delivers both tradition and modern nourishment. By slowly simmering rice until it breaks down into a silky, porridge-like consistency, congee becomes the perfect blank canvas for flavor. This version is topped with delicate ribbons of egg, umami-rich seaweed, and fresh green onion for brightness. A finishing sprinkle of Pluck organ-based seasoning infuses the bowl with savory depth and a boost of essential minerals like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. Whether you enjoy it for breakfast, a light lunch, or a soothing dinner, this congee brings together the warmth of classic Asian comfort food with the nutrient density of modern ancestral eating.
