If you are after one super nourishing and nutrient dense meal then look no further then this healing Congee recipe.
I think this is the most underrated meal to top up your nutrient stores whether it be for gut health, for a new mumma, for someone that may be feeling sick, for a fussy toddler or just a nourishing family meal.

3 spring onions, finely sliced
I would also add in some chicken or fish to poach in the liquid.
