Congee is a type of rice porridge or gruel which is well-known in many Asian countries particularly in China which they called it "jook", "Hsan Byok" in Myanmar,  "Bubur" for Indonesia, "Okayu" in Japan, and "Lugaw" in Philippines. In some culture, congee is eaten for breakfast food or late supper. This is a great substitute for rice at other meals. It is most often served with side dishes. With additional ingredients such as meat, fish and other flavorings it is often served as a meal on its own especially if someone gets mild sick/ill since it is easily digestible food.
