Congee/jook (rice porridge). It's the Cantonese equivalent of chicken noodle soup more or less.

Steamed whole fish, eyes and all, with soy sauce/ginger/scallions.

In the Philippines any time you order fish you get the whole fish. So I got used to that. Rarely something found here in the US, though. But I have no issues eating a whole fish. Fish eyes actually taste decent.

Whole fish is fairly common in Chinese restaurants that cater to Chinese customers since the steamed fish in question is a staple.

Oooo, I will have to try that next time I'm in a Chinese restaurant.

Look for one that has big round tables with lazy susans in the middle. You want the kind of place where multiple generations of Chinese families go out to dinner for special occasions, that kind of thing. They're easier to find in large cities with a significant Asian population, but harder elsewhere. It depends on where you are.

I love congee! it's the best thing on a cold day.

Re: Common/Uncommon foods

I tried making congee once in my slow cooker and failed miserably.

Re: Common/Uncommon foods

It's not a very fast way to make it, but it should work. Try 1 cup rice (preferably Thai jasmine long grained rice) to 8-9 cups of water or chicken broth, depending on how thick or thin you want it. Cook on low overnight and garnish with whatever toppings you like.

This is faster on a stovetop, though.... you bring the water/broth and rice to a boil, then turn it down to a simmer and simmer it for 30-40 minutes, or until the individual rice grains disappear into a more homogeneous porridge.
