Pork congee is very easy to make, so surprise your family with yummy and delicious hot breakfast, especially if you have some leftover pork.
Pork is the most common meat ingredient used by the chinese in their cooking. So it comes as no surprise that there are many pork congee recipes.
Ground pork is probably the favourite amongst Singaporeans as it is easy to use. Unlike pork wonton fillings that need a certain amount of fat to ensure juiciness, ground pork for congee can be as lean as possible. It is also easy to pack and freeze ground pork which means you can ground a whole lot of pork, pack in smaller portions and freeze for later use.
Besides ground pork, congee can also be made with pork slices which I like thinly sliced. Pound with a meat mallet or back of a knife to tenderize and marinate lightly with some seasonings before adding to the congee for some added flavour.
Pork ribs and even pork belly have been used. How about cutting some bacon into bits, fry till crispy and toss into plain rice congee?
