💡 Профессиональные советы
- ✓For a slightly sweeter congee, you can use purple sweet potatoes, which lend a beautiful color.
- ✓If you have leftover cooked rice, you can speed up the process by using it instead of uncooked rice. Add it to boiling water and simmer until it breaks down into a porridge consistency, then add the sweet potato.
- ✓The rice-to-water ratio can be adjusted for a thicker or thinner congee.
