Okay kids, how cozy is this?

What is congee?

Congee is a rice porridge with a thick or thin consistency. There are many kinds of congee type. Some food hawker places in Indonesia have a thicker consistency congee while you’ll see a thinner consistency in food stalls in Hong Kong. They both taste delicious and perfect for breakfast or dinner, or when you’re not feeling well.

And today’s congee recipe is even better because I’m making cozy savory oats congee using steel cut oats. And when cozy is the name of the game and healthy-ish is in the mix somewhere, this savory oatmeal congee becomes everything.
