Holiday Turkey Leftovers: Congee

Ingredients

- Holiday Turkey Carcass - bones and clean leftover meat
- Rice (rinsed, duh)
- Water
- Salt and pepper
- Ginger (optional)
- Glutenous rice flour (optional)
- Toppings (Scallions, hard/soft boiled egg, pickled bamboo shoots, pretty much any ramen topping goes great on this, pickled vegetables)

Directions
- Separate the edible meat form the bones and skin
- Boil the bones and skin until you get a strong flavorful broth
- Add salt if needed
- Once the stock is good strain the bones and put the stock back in the pot
- Add 1 cup of rice to every 9 cups of stock
- If adding glutenous rice flour (which makes the texture more creamy) add two table spoons and mix with 1/2 cup of cold water and add the slurry into the boiling pot and stir.
- Add your meat to the pot
- Stir frequently the bottom might tend to stick and its important to keep the bottom of the pot clean. If it burns all your congee will taste burnt.
- You’ll have to stir more frequently as the rice dissolves so less at the beginning and more at the end.
- Once the rice has absorbed all the water and broken down you should have a smooth porridge texture.
- Plate your congee into a bowl and top it off with fixings or enjoy on it’s own

Dude your videos have completely reignited my love for cooking! I fell in love with Cantonese food on my first trip to Hong Kong and I had never even considered learning the techniques and history behind it until I came across your TikToks. It’s been such a fun and rewarding process ☺️

My mom makes jook every year after Thanksgiving with the turkey carcass. I love it ❤️

Back again to be sure I remember the method correctly - and yup, it really is that easy. Claimed the turkey carcass from a friendsgiving on saturday, stocked it up yesterday, making congee today. thank you!! 💖

I'm so glad my brother shared your channel with me. Everything about this video brings me comfort - and I'll take it from anywhere I can get it.

I don’t know why, but I cried while watching this. 🥰 everything your said was just so spot on. Hope you, and all of us, get to see our families soon. In the meantime, I’ll be trying this recipe this year. Thank you!

Yup. I do a similar thing. My grandma taught me to throw in some dried scallops, and dried shitaki. And of course, if you got any edgy parts of the leftover ham, its a great way to add that salt and umami.

This sounds AMAZING. I had thanksgiving with my mom and brother, luckily they live pretty close by. I made sure to claim the turkey carcass so that I can try and make this. Thank you so much for sharing!! 💖

It's like I'm watching a live action of studio ghibli movie or something. So calm.

Hong Kong-Brit here. Although we grew up in different cultures (okay maybe same same but different), I can really resonate with your sentiment. Thanks. Please keep creating and cooking and I'll be watching and learning. Love your work (:

[Stinkypeenar]

I have thought about this video at least daily since you posted it, congee is the ultimate comfort food.
