Chicken Congee with Scallops
The Medicinal Effects of Chicken and Dried Scallops
Chicken fortifies the spleen and stomach, supplements vacuity, strengthens the body, and enhances physical strength. Fresh sea scallops taste delicious; they enrich yin energy, supplement the kidney, harmonize the stomach, and regulate the center. Combining chicken and scallops makes this congee dish smooth, tender, and fragrant. This type of congee supplements bodily strength, fortifies the spleen, and boosts the stomach. It is a great congee dish for maintaining good health that can be consumed daily.
Cooking with Scallops
Fresh sea scallops already have a savory flavor, so use discretion when adding salt. Steam dried scallops in a rice cooker before adding them to the congee to reduce overall boiling time.
