What it is
Eight-treasure congee is a sweet Chinese rice porridge made by slowly simmering glutinous rice with a mix of beans, nuts, seeds, and dried fruits, such as red beans, lotus seeds, peanuts, jujube dates, and dried longan. The exact combination of 'treasures' varies by region and household. It is traditionally served during the Laba Festival but is enjoyed year-round as a comforting dish.
