Congee Rice Porridge With Shrimp

Alexandra Grablewski/Getty Images In most Southeast-Asian countries, breakfast often takes the form of soup, noodles, or “congee” (porridge), which is actually a kind of thick rice soup. This rice porridge recipe is a good example, although I am more apt to make it for dinner. It’s a soothing, comfort food, and excellent during cold weather.
