Features: Throughout history, congee has a long-standing tradition in China. As dietary habits have become increasingly important, more and more people have turned their attention to food, with congee gaining favor for its remarkable achievements in health and wellness. Congee can generally be categorized into three main types: plain congee, savory congee, and sweet congee. Plain congee has a light flavor and is usually made simply with rice, but it can also be mixed with ingredients like millet, mung beans, or lotus seeds. Savory congee is made by adding other seasonings to white rice congee. People in Guangdong are particularly fond of congee and add various ingredients to create unique flavors. Although sweet congee has fewer varieties than savory congee, it is also a distinctive feature of Chinese cuisine, with Laba Congee being a representative example.
