Sea Cucumber, Chicken and Shrimp Congee

Keep Young and Well-Nourished with This Congee

Sea cucumber strengthens the kidneys and replenishes energy. It aids memory and helps to slow down aging, preventing hardening of the arteries and preventing tumors. Paired with chicken and shrimp, this congee is high in protein, with a soft, sticky texture and a fresh, salty taste. It is particularly good for men to eat in the winter to stay well-nourished.

Cantonese Kitchen Tips

Reconstituted sea cucumber and fresh shrimp should not be cooked for too long. They should be added to the pot when the congee is nearly ready.
