ReplyDeletehi Lily,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe. I love Pak Ko so this is a must-try recipe for me! Why though, does the recipe say "Remove the chicken" at the end?
Thanks & Happy New Year to you and your family!
Warmest Regards,
Your fan from Melbourne, Australia.

ReplyDeleteChicken breast will get dried and tasteless if cooked too long, so, as soon as it is cooked. remove and shred and serve it with the congee. on the other hand, if you do not wish to eat the chicken and wants it to flavor the congee, then cook it until the congee is ready. The chicken can still be eaten but it will be dry.
Hi Lily
ReplyDeleteI would like to replace 'Pak Ko' with 'Century Egg'. Can I follow the same steps of cooking the congee as well.
Miss egg century congee. Thank you!
