Congee with Century Egg and Salted Pork (Pi Dan Shou Rou Zhou / 皮蛋瘦肉粥)
Hong Kong and Guangdong — Cantonese breakfast tradition
The most beloved of all Cantonese congees: silky rice porridge with preserved century egg (pi dan) and salty lean pork (shredded and marinated in soy and sesame oil). The pi dan is stirred in near the end — it partially dissolves into the congee, tinting it with deep, dark soy notes. The salted pork provides savoury depth throughout. A definitive Hong Kong morning and comfort food.
