ULOG [#0016] : COMFORT FOOD FOR RAINY DAY
TODAY I COOK FOR YOU GUYS
CONGEE WITH DRIED SALTED FISH
It's the 2nd day of the 6th month of the year and it's weekend! Oh how I love Saturdays especially now because I can still spend the day at home. I have classes on Saturdays once the school year starts on June 13. So I am making the most staying at home and plan to do some household chores.
Unfortunately, it was raining the whole day. So you know I am a rainy person, means.... I just want to lay down and sleep and just be lazy, hahahaha.... Really I love rainy days and since it's Saturday and there is no work I feel the need to reward myself of just relaxing. So the plan to getting household chores done went to waste.
- I planned to do laundry but who loves to do it with the rain pouring down?
- I planned to arrange our bookshelves and school supplies to prepare for the opening school year, but its cold and it's just so nice to cuddle at the sofa.
- I planned to prepare our clothes for our out of the country trip next week, but the bags are still wet!
hahahahahaha.... such lame and pity excuses really but honestly I just love to lie down the whole day.... but since food is lifer as they say I had done something special that is really good for rainy days.... I cook a comfort food!!!
Now, lets get serious and let me teach you how to prepare this delicious food :
For the Congee
PROCEDURE :
- Place water in a pan or casserole.
- Bring to a boil.
- While waiting for the water to boil, wash the rice.
- When the water boils, pour in rice.
- Stir continuosly until rice is cooked and gooey.
- Serve and sprinkle a little salt or you can top it with fried dried salty fish for a more delectable flavor. To further enhance the flavor you can dip the dried fish on a special vinegar. Special vinegar is fermented with garlic, ginger and onion.
