Century egg goes very well with rice congee. Just watch the video below where a guy tries the century egg together with the congee for the very first time. What is his verdict? "Century egg is terrible unless you have it with congee."
There are other ways to eat it but this is the most enjoyable. Here are 3 century egg congee recipes.
