Rice Porridge Bowl

📍 Los Angeles Creative Comfort $$

at Porridge + Puffs

"Rice porridge at Porridge + Puffs is silky in the way that congee can only be when it has been cooked for hours and strained. The toppings are applied at the table — preserved egg, century egg, pork, pickled vegetable. The result is a bowl that is simultaneously plain and complex."

"The porridge is made from a specific rice-to-water ratio that has been refined over time. The congee is not thick — it is the correct consistency for holding toppings without overwhelming them. The toppings are each prepared separately, which allows the guest to control the combination. This is porridge as a philosophy."
