I do various experiments with them over the years.
(Yah, I use many other ingredients besides the traditional ones)
Recipe:
In a big enough pot
...
Fry 6-8 bacon till crispy
(set half of them aside
while breaking apart into
small pieces that other half)
Brown 1 clove garlic
(ginger optional)
in bacon oil
...
Add in 1 cup of pre-soaked rice
(or 1.5 to 2 cup left over rice will do)
with 3 cups water seasoned with
...
1 tbs dashi
1 cube chicken stock
1 tbs vinegar
...
stew for 45 mins plus
...
serve
garnished
with the other part of z bacon
(optional)
scallions
eggs
(century eggs preferred
but not everyone can stomach this)
fermented bean curd preserved bamboo shoots
& other traditional "jook" condiments
*enjoyed*
Come on, its bacon!

Your bacon congee looks and sounds delicious. I had congee for the first time 3 years ago in China. I rapidly learned that there is good congee and bad congee. Yours definitely is in the good camp. Have a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
