Notes

  • You can use fresh cauliflower rice but I feel like frozen rice tends to keep it’s shape better. It’s also very convenient which is why I used it in this recipe.
  • Don’t skip the add-ins. They add a lot of flavor and part of the fun of congee. The add-ins allow you to customize the dish and make it your own.
