In reply to Heidi. Thank you Heidi. The aromatics and the spices are key components to reducing dampness but also add so much flavor to this easy Instant Pot congee recipe.

I love the fabulous flavors of your soup. From the ginger to the dates to the Goji berries... these flavors create such a rich, heartwarming soup foundation!

In reply to Michelle. So happy to hear that you enjoyed reading more about spleen qi health and diet as we are quite passionate about this topic. You probably had job's tears in a tea or at the local dessert shops in HK, but adding them to a savory congee soup takes this ingredient to a whole new level. Please take care!

Loved reading this post -- very insightful! And I've never thought to add Job's tears to savory soups; I've only had it in sweet dessert soups... will need to try that ASAP!

Thank you Eha! Yes, this chicken congee porridge is very "Eha Healthy"! Hey did you know that there are many online Asian food markets that deliver directly to you in Australia and their prices are pretty reasonable. Here is an example for Job's Tears...https://www.umall.com.au/products/qiancheng-premium-raw-jobs-tears-100g. Ebay is not a good place to look for Chinese goods as there are many fake products out there on the market. Enjoy your weekend and please take care

Fascinating - thank you! Sounds SO like my kind of food - but had to go talk to darling Mr Google about 'Job's tears' as had never heard of them before! Well, all the supermarkets were ignorant but found exactly the same packet on eBay - at over $A33 - 45 for the packet! Talk about different countries . . . naturally interesting to try it once since it is so "Eha healthy' 🙂 !

Food IS medicine, and a delicious cure at that! I can tell at a glance that this combination is completely soothing and restorative. You could totally write a full cookbook about cooking well and being well. Your insights here are priceless.

Loving this hearty recipe. The combination of the rice, job's tears and red beans is delightful and keeps us full all morning long. We topped ours with a jammy egg, sesame oil and a splash of coconut aminos. Great idea to make a big batch of congee and freeze it for the back to school rush.
