It’s turkey leftover time…And besides the ubiquitous turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce and stuffing, I love to use the carcass to make congee….comfort food for me especially during the wonderful weather we’ve been having lately.
8 pieces dried Chinese mushrooms rehydrated and thinly sliced
tsp green onion finely chopped
piece cilantro sprigs
Recipe Method
1. Cut carcass in half. Place into large stockpot and add cold water to just cover the carcass. Bring to a boil, removing any excess protein scum. Continue to cook at boiling point but not a rapid boil. When carcass starts to break apart, remove bones from the stock. Remove any meat from the bones and add back to the stock. Add rice (1 cup for soupier texture, 1 ½ cups for thicker consistency) shredded ginger, chickenstock and salt; boil till rice expands in the liquid, then lower heat to simmer until rice has broken down to a creamy texture. Some like a thicker rice texture while I prefer cooking it longer for a velvety texture, about an hour or so.
