I just made some. my base recipe is about 4 cups of water, 3/4 cup of white rice. save the fancy rice for something else. I just use Calrose rice. one dried scallops a few dried shrimp is my back drop. maybe a piece of kombu - dried kelp.
boom. add salt and pepper and it is a great jumping off point. but from there all bets are off. anything goes. chop in some leftover chicken breast, drizzle in some beaten egg for an egg drop affect... chopped tomatoes...no rules. a can of creamed corn!!!
Alan? really? congee is closer to oatmeal than anything. a congee can be any grain. even cream of wheat.
