Congee, sometimes spelled conjee, is a classic Chinese rice porridge often enjoyed for breakfast. But since it s likely not on the menus at your favorite breakfast or brunch spot, you probably don t know much about it unless you ve traveled throughout Asia.
So to better understand this staple of Asian cuisine, we tapped two experts to dive into how to make it, what it tastes like and a bit of its history.
“Lunch is ready,” I called out to my husband and daughter, setting the serving dish down on the dining table. On cue, Anoushka, my 14-year-old, reached out to open the lid to check what was inside.
We were having khichdi – mashed lentils, diced vegetables and rice topped with caramelised onions. “Did you know that the British kedgeree (a mix of rice, flaked fish and boiled eggs) is inspired by our khichdi?” Anoushka asked, drizzling spoonfuls of ghee (clarified butter) onto the khichdi on her plate.
She was studying the colonial history of India for her upcoming exams and trivia was her way of making the subject easier. I did know the khichdi-kedgeree connection. I am sure there are more, I replied. “Wouldn’t it be cool if we could find out what Indian dishes were behind some of the colonisers’ cuisine and cook them?” the budding chef asked excitedly.
