_Sips morning coffee_
Oh my goodness, ladies and gents, let me tell you about this absolutely divine Chinese breakfast that will make your taste buds dance and your family think you’ve secretly enrolled in culinary school!
Let’s talk about Congee with Century Egg and Pork – the ultimate comfort breakfast that’s basically a warm hug in a bowl. Trust me, once you try this, those boring old cereals will be collecting dust in your pantry!
First things first, grab these ingredients (I know you’re already excited!):
– 1 cup jasmine rice
– 8 cups chicken broth (or water, but broth makes everything better!)
– 1/2 pound ground pork
– 2 century eggs, chopped
– Green onions (for that pop of color!)
– Ginger, minced
– Soy sauce
– White pepper
– Sesame oil
Now, here’s where the magic happens!
Rinse that rice until the water runs clear (nobody likes cloudy congee!). Pop it in a large pot with your broth, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer. This is where patience comes in, ladies – about 1-1.5 hours of occasional stirring while you catch up on your favorite morning show! 😉

While your congee is getting all creamy and wonderful, marinate your ground pork with a splash of soy sauce, white pepper, and a tiny bit of sesame oil. When your congee is almost done, add the pork and let it cook through.
Finally, top with those gorgeous century eggs (don’t be scared, they’re amazing!), green onions, and an extra drizzle of sesame oil. I like to add a little extra white pepper because I’m spicy like that! 🌶️
Pro tip: Make extra because, honey, everyone’s going to want seconds!
The result? A silky-smooth, savory breakfast that’ll have you feeling like you’re dining at a high-end dim sum restaurant in Hong Kong. And the best part? You made it yourself! _hair flip_
This is seriously my go-to recipe when I want to impress weekend guests or just treat myself to something special. It’s pure comfort in a bowl, and don’t even get me started on how amazing it is for those “morning after” recovery breakfasts! 😏
