Carrot pork congee recipe

If you are not familiar with congee, it is actually rice porridge. It is a very common food in chinese cuisine. This recipe has only 2 key ingredients: pork ribs and carrot.

Baby porridge

To make it suitable for babies, reduce the amount of ginger as the babies may not like it if the ginger is too strong. Also, remove the pork ribs before feeding.

Elderly porridge

To make it suitable for the old folks, cook the carrot till it is fairly soft. It should be easier to chew. The carrot will cook faster if it is parboiled first. Do not throw the water used to parboil the carrot. Use it as part of the soup stock to cook the rice porridge.
