Coconut Ginger Congee
with Crispy Tofu
Congee is a simple, comforting rice porridge. While it originates from China, many versions are eaten across Asian cuisines. This adaptation uses coconut milk, similar to Southeast Asian congees, and quinoa-speckled rice for an extra crunch. Adding tofu boosts the protein in this cozy dish, giving you sustainable energy.
