Don't ask me why or how, but apparently congee is low-carbs. I don't count macros or calories for myself that way; I dunno which gets categorized into what. So the man was very happy to have congee for dinner. Stopped by at Ah Chiang's for food that pleased both our stomachs. His bowl of chicken congee with pork balls and century eggs were apparently about 280 calories. Okaaaay.
Congee for me too. I like a standard bowl of century egg with sliced pork. I don't bother counting calories. I eat what my stomach wants, and what keeps it quiet. For me, congee is the perfect low FODMAP meal option. Hello, I do have IBS (there's no definitive test, but a blood test for markers with an endoscopy and colonoscopy suggested that it exists), so if I want to control flares, I should have congee and low FODMAP options for half the week.
I also felt like having pork liver stir-fried with the usual portion of watercress that we always have with the congee at Ah Chiang's. The man welcomed the dish too. He likes his stir-fried greens done this way. This kitchen does watercress well and it fulfills all antioxidant and Vitamin K needs. But if pork liver is included in this dish, I must chilli with it — the sweeter big red chillies would be ideal. It goes with congee too! I could just crunch them. Mmmmmm.
