Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to elevate your breakfast game with this absolutely divine Chinese breakfast recipe that’ll make your taste buds dance! As someone who’s always experimenting in the kitchen (and occasionally setting off smoke alarms – oops!), I can guarantee this Congee with Century Egg and Crispy Youtiao will transform your morning routine.
Trust me, this isn’t your basic avocado toast situation. This is pure comfort in a bowl, the kind that’ll make you want to skip the snooze button just to get to breakfast faster!
What You’ll Need:
– 1 cup jasmine rice
– 8 cups water
– 2 century eggs, chopped
– 2 pieces youtiao (Chinese fried dough)
– Green onions, finely chopped
– Ginger, julienned
– Soy sauce
– White pepper
– Sesame oil
Okay honey, let’s get cooking! First, rinse that rice until the water runs clear – nobody wants cloudy congee! Combine the rice and water in a large pot and bring it to a boil. Here’s where patience comes in (I know, I know, but trust your girl on this one). Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally until it reaches that perfect creamy consistency.

Now, while your congee is doing its thing, let’s prep our toppings. Cut your youtiao into bite-sized pieces and pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes to crisp them up (because soggy youtiao is a crime against humanity, if you ask me!).
Once your congee reaches that silky smooth texture we’re after, it’s time for the fun part – assembly! Ladle that creamy goodness into bowls, top with century egg pieces, crispy youtiao, green onions, and ginger. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil, then finish with a sprinkle of white pepper.
The combination of the creamy congee, the rich century egg, and the crunchy youtiao is absolutely _chef’s kiss_. It’s like a warm hug for your stomach, and honestly, who doesn’t need that in the morning?
Pro tip: If you’re meal prepping (look at you being all organized!), store the congee separately from the toppings. Nobody likes soggy youtiao – we’ve been over this!
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times this recipe has saved me from basic breakfast boredom. It’s my go-to when I want to feel fancy but don’t want to spend half my morning in the kitchen (because beauty sleep is important too, right?).
