Shanghai-style chicken congee, also known as jī zhōu, is a comforting and nourishing rice porridge. The congee is made by simmering rice and chicken in a large pot of water until the rice breaks down and becomes thick and creamy. The chicken meat becomes tender and flavorful, adding richness to the congee. This dish is often served with various toppings such as green onions, fried shallots, and soy sauce. It is a popular breakfast dish in Shanghai and is believed to be a great way to start the day.
