I can imagine ;w; !! (btw, dinner went great. I think I added too much water tho so I had to compensate with too much mushroom seasoning. It tasted like salty miso water lol)

Congee is best served..... when it’s not in pudding consistency lol, I just happened to make it too dry haaaha. If you do end up trying it, though- try it with some of those “Chinese fried doughnuts” (THAT’S WHAT I’VE SEEN THEM GET TRANSLATED TO I PROMISE THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY DONUTS)

They are just fried sticks of dough and taste wonderful on their own, but honestly make eating congee a heavenly experience. (I could never replicate them on my own, but I’ve found premade ones at asian stores lol)

Omg I was trynna click on the button r write this ask and accidentally unfollowed you I’m so sorryyyyy 😭😭😭

My sister was sick yesterday so we had canja!!! And it reminded me of you so I took some pics :)

we also had vegetables in it which is a bit unusual but it was still delicious lmao

the last pic is of when I got a bubble of the soup stuck in a bubble of oil and I was just :00000

AWAIOGHSDJKFAKJSDGB OMG!!!! 😳😳

Honestly, canja is kinda like how we sometimes put rice in soup lol. It looks so warm n comforting tho, I almost wanna try making it myself sometime 👀👀.... (there's beans,,,,, and carrot i see,,,,,,,,,,,,,)

I just finished up the last of my congee this morning :) (it's been in the fridge for a couple of days... so it's firmed up to a pudding consistency lol. Still tasty tho- ate it with some pork floss :P :P)

#(is what i'd say if I had one lmao. I just put stuff in a pot and boil :>)#HOWEVER. if you have a rice cooker you can actually make congee pretty easily in there too #congee is pretty much just rice that's cooked in too much water anyway it's hard to get wrong #the meat i put in this congee is... pork ribs!#unfortunately my brother is a big baby and refuses to eat it unless I cut the meat out myself lmao #the funny thing about a lot of viet dishes is that we LOVE bones #bun and pho use beef bones to flavour the broth (usually anyway)#we end up making soup jello without adding any gelatin because of all the delicious collagen that gets into the soup #it's apparently very healthy :)#but mostly i like taking the soup out of the fridge and poking at it because it's literally jello #fun fact vietnam has different words for these guys but we use the words ''congee'' and ''chao'' interchangeably #we also call those dough sticks somethin like ''Yo cha wai'' or something (idk how to spell it lmao)#there's also pork floss which is usually eaten in congee. the north has its own word for it but the south (and central) vietnamese call it-#-''cha bong'' which i think is very cute #these soups have very cute names i love it #hehe #reblog #mun rambles
