Many Asians begin their day with a warm bowl of congee, a watery rice. Many different seasonings are used to make congee. Congee can be sweet or salty; seasoned with everything from chicken to mushrooms. Often, mince(肉馅)is used to add to the rice. In Chinese Food, congee serves two purposes— besides warming the body, it takes the place of a beverage, as the Chinese don’t normally serve cold drinks.
