What kid wouldn’t want a fun bowl of porridge like this? This video suggests using quail eggs, which are impossible to find in Flint. And above is my attempt at recreating it. Are you a Disney fan? Remember the scene in Mulan when MuShu makes porridge for Mulan? That my friends, is congee. Plain congee becomes a base for any toppings you prefer. Congee achieves a creamy, almost soupy porridge that comforts the ill and fills the hungry. However, left plain, one likely can use it as baby food. You may prefer to season it with salt, as I did. (Visit The Kitchn for an explanation on the difference between long, medium and short grain rice.)Ĭongee (also known as jook, cháo or Arroz Caldo in other countries) involves two basic ingredients. Therefore, I chose to use Delta Blues Rice Grits for my take on Chinese Congee. While I have used their rice grits before on my Bits and Grits Waffles, I wanted to create a dish a bit foreign to American palates. Their Jasmine Rice works perfectly in Asian dishes, such as my Bi Bim Bap.
They offer white and brown rice, which I used in my Tres Leche Rice pudding, and my Arroz Con Pollo.

Originally included in an American Gluten Free Box, I have come to love their various long grain, non-gmo rice varieties. In fact, the Delta Blues Rice grits started my connection with this Mississippi company. I’ve featured non-gmo Delta Blues Rice products here on my site many times. Delta Blues Rice introduced me to this product years ago, and its creamy texture is perfect for my Chinese Congee. In the past decade, chefs increasingly use this unique rice product in even high end restaurants. Farmers exported the intact grains, and used the broken pieces, the rice grits, to serve to the local residents. Originally grown from fragile Carolina Gold rice, the whole grain was prone to breakage. As The Smithsonian explains in their article on rice grits, this variety became a local favorite. Rice grits originated from the American South, distinctly from Carolina. Contrary to popular belief, grits don’t solely originate from corn.
Someone once looked at me cock-eyed when I told them about rice grits. Thank you to Delta Blues Rice for creating this unique rice product, and for sponsoring this post. After trying congee for the first time, I instantly knew that Delta Blues Rice Grits would provide the creamy texture I desire. If you have rice, and water, you can make a large pot of congee to last you throughout the week. Congee originates from Chinese cooking, and really is the easiest thing you could ever make.
