Looking for a warming and filling breakfast? Congee is super easy to make and very budget friendly! Try making a batch to eat throughout the week and top with whatever ingredients you like. Here, we used smoked tofu and scrambled eggs as toppings.

3 ½ Cups vegetable stock
½ Cup smoked tofu

  2. Combine the rice and vegetable stock in a medium saucepan
  3. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low
  4. Allow mixture to simmer for approximately 1 hour and stir occasionally
  5. Remove from heat once you are happy with the consistency
  6. Top congee with your favourite toppings (we used smoked tofu and scrambled egg)
