Shanghai-style Chicken Congee, also known as jook, is a popular breakfast dish in Shanghai. It is made by simmering rice with chicken broth until it becomes thick and creamy. The chicken is usually cooked with ginger, garlic, and green onions to infuse the congee with flavor. This dish is often garnished with shredded chicken, green onions, and fried shallots for added texture and taste. It is a comforting and nourishing dish that is perfect for starting the day or as a light meal. The congee can be customized with additional toppings like century eggs or pickled vegetables.
