Hi Phoebe,

I made more congee the next day for my friend who is recovering from illness
and this time, I soaked the brown rice overnight. I cooked it with the rice
cooker and the cooking time was definitely 50% less. It still didn't click
to warm though and the congee was a bit thick. So I popped it on to the pan
and add more water... Great Yummy Congee... and he liked it!!
I showed him your wonderful website and he said he will make some congee
tonight.
One more person is converted to "congeeism"!! Hurrahhh!!!

Hi Phoebe,
I tried to cook congee with the rice cooker... 1 cup of brown rice with 10 cups of liquid...it took me almost 2 hours to get to the congee consistency and the rice cooker didn't even click to warm. I had to do it manually otherwise it would have got burnt. Well I thought what's wrong?
I realised I did not soak the grain beforehand... I wonder if it does make that big difference it cooking time as well as the consistency of the congee?

I had it with some bitter melon stir fry yum : )
Thanks for a great website!!

Hi Phoebe,

I love your soup but I have a problem with using pork or meat coming from a pig. Can you offer a substitute for this?

Thanks.
