    Notes:

    I typically use Better Than Bouillon to make stock. First, I boil 5
    cups of water in my electric kettle. Then, I pour it into a bowl and
    mix it with 4 to 5 ts of the Better Than Bouillon paste. It's okay if
    the paste doesn't dissolve completely because it will do so as the
    congee cooks.

    Vegetable broths have varying levels of sodium. Start with 1 ts of
    kosher salt. Then, taste the congee when it's done and add more salt,
    if necessary. Note that you may serve the congee with soy sauce, so
    the congee itself doesn't need to be too salty.

    In my photos, I sautéed fresh shiitake mushrooms separately and used

    them to top my porridge. I find reconstituted shiitake mushrooms to
    be too chewy, so I don't usually eat them. If you want more mushroom
    flavor in the congee, you can also add 1 to 2 ts of porcini mushroom
    powder.

    Youtiao are large fried dough sticks that are usually served with
    congee. I buy mine frozen from Asian supermarkets and heat them in
    the oven at 400°F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
