Noob Cook Tip
Leftovers? It is all right to keep the rice porridge and soup stock overnight in the fridge to make the salmon rice porridge the next day. As for the cooked salmon, it is best to consume on the same day for maximum freshness. Marinate a new piece of fish for the next day instead of keeping the cooked fish overnight.

  1. Just had some salmon for the lunch but now I want to have some of this delicious congee too.

  2. I made salmon porridge quite some time ago when I was under the weather (have not even posted it yet :O ) . That time, I cooked it over the stove and because I used millet , the consistency is different from the one you cooked here. Next time I will make it in the rice cooker.

    So comforting to have this bowl of porridge when the weather is cold.

    恭喜发财,新春愉快,身体健康,万事如意,

  3. Hi, may I know which part to add the vegetables? Do I put them into the rice to cook together?

  4. Yes cook together in the rice cooker, sorry I forgot to indicate that in the recipe, will amend. Thanks for letting me know.
