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.

I was hoping/figuring that you'd hop in. And like I figured, there's not likely to be many formal "recipes". Everything that I've seen indicates that it's usually a way to mix a bunch of leftovers into a meal.

But thanks on the recommendations for the base. So the dried seafood and kombu and salt and pepper are your "stock" seasonings, no sauces, ginger, garlic, sesame oil/seed, etc...?
