    This was made with a basic congee recipe (below) but using rehydrated dried shitake mushrooms.
    The mushrooms were soaked, then minced and the soaking liquor added to the congee for flavour with some fresh sliced ginger.

    The topper is just some sliced up veg (I used a pre packed stir fry veg as a cheat) fried in a little oil, 1 tsp chili bean paste, and a splash of light soy sauce.

    Served with more light soy, chopped spring onions, and sesame oil.

    The congee makes a lot and can be kept in the fridge for reheating.
    Wonderful fun to experiment with toppers 😊

  2. scrolled too fast and thought this said shark congee and scrolled back up to be angry at both you and why the heck that would be on my feed. I’m very happy to see i was wrong but disappointed because that looks and sounds very tasty and I want some too
