Fusion dish: congee with double carrots, double celery, crunchy triple onion and garlic topping, and tres chiles soy curls from the other day. I also added low sodium soy sauce at the table.
If you're calorie-curious, this is a hefty bowl of about 330 calories (350 with soy sauce). It's starchy (rice), fibery and beany (soy curls), and veg-tacular (basically everything else). It's warming (literally warm and from ginger, white pepper, and Mexican peppers), and brings a lot of nourishing liquid along for the ride.
I'm usually iffy on fusion except for straight up playing in the kitchen, but rice is common ground between many cultures so I went for it. I wanted something comforting and satisfying, and congee never disappoints!!
