Instant Pot Basic Congee is a filling simple to make traditional peasants meal that goes great with just about anything you throw at it. The Congee is best served steaming hot and covered with your favorite toppings. I normally serve this with some sort of protein such as eggs, strips of chicken, or Chinese sausage. You can turn up the heat with a couple of Thai peppers or jalapeños if you like. A hot bowl is also nice when you feel a bit under the weather and need something easy on the tummy to digest. This meal makes a bag of rice go a long way. Fresh green onions and dried shallots make a nice combination but feel free to experiment and change the flavors to your liking. I love this meal because it is cheap to make and it fills the tummy with a nice warm feeling that lasts. My family loves to dip toasted French bread or Chinese fried bread in their hot bowls to make for a mouthwatering appetizer while the Congee cools a bit.
