Josh and I found our hearts in the bottom bowl of rice congee in the middle of Chinatown. It tasted so good we had to make it our selves, thinking we could do this better. Our first stab at rice congee was fun and beautiful. I believe we made something delicious, unique, and warming. The rice is your canvas, add whatever you would like.
