      @@sweetfreeze5528 the basic of Asian porridge/congee is rice that's cooked in more water than usual.. plain and simple. This is "porridge" & some times jf pressed for time or have left over old cooked rice, we give it extra life by cooking it water, making it softer as porridge /congee/soup.. You know how Western staple is bread right? Asian stable is rice. So see how you found ways to make bread pudding deserts from old (or new) bread, we made dish from old (or new) rice. So the rice becomes more like rice soup, this is the white bland rice porridge my mom likes to eat when sick or down as it has no taste flavor except of the water and rice. Then you can add anything reallt to eat it: with salt or sugar, sugarcane pieces, or soy sauce... or scallions w/egg drop soup or any meats, veggies... anything really to add to it. Sky's the limit.
