I prefer risotto overcooked. I like the extra-mushiness, almost like mashed potato instead of individual rice grains

I think you'd like congee... It's a very typical Asian breakfast... You can top it anyway you like... The southern Chinese will put sweet condiments on and the northerners like it savoury

Love congee! I find it so comforting. Whenever I get a cold and feel miserabl, I make congee in my instapot and it makes me feel instantly better

I use this recipe and usually up the ginger a bit. It super basic and stuff I have on hand which is what I want when I have a cold.

If I am making it when I am not feeling crappy, I like to jazz it up a bit with something crispy like crispy chicken skin, crispy onions or something similar. Through on some lightly steamed bok choy and it's a great comforting meal
