Nourishing Congee Recipe

Congee is a simple, very well cooked rice porridge that can restore  strength and bring warmth to the stomach.  Our modern diets are very cold in nature.  Raw vegetables, iced drinks, excess fruit, and diets high in carbohydrates cause a great deal of damage to our stomachs.  This recipe is great to use during acute illness/infection or during times of seasonal allergies.
