If chicken soup is what you reach for when you are poorly, congee is what half the world reaches for, and once you have made it you will understand why. This silky, savoury rice porridge is the gentlest, most quietly restorative thing I know how to cook — soothing when you are under the weather, but genuinely delicious enough to want when you are perfectly well. The base is almost absurdly simple: rice and stock, simmered until the grains collapse into something smooth and comforting. The magic is all in the toppings, and a spoonful of homemade crispy shallots and ginger oil turns a plain bowl into something you will think about for days.
