Sampan Congee

Sampan congee is a Cantonese rice porridge made rich with an assortment of fresh toppings.

Its name comes from the small sampan boats on the Pearl River that once sold it, a legacy of the region's waterside food culture.

Eaten piping hot, garnished with fish slices, jellyfish, peanuts, scallions and fried dough sticks.

A smooth, comforting base layered with varied toppings makes it a warming Guangzhou street favorite.
