After too much indulgence, I crave something rich and comforting. This was my day-after-Thanksgiving lunch with Kristina at Samovar in the Castro. It is Jook or Rice Congee, a typical Chinese breakfast food, with Duck. Salty, creamy, rich and flavorful with lots of condiments for an extra punch. Washed down with a pot of Gen Mai Cha (Toasted Rice) Tea, it is just what the doctor ordered.
I love a savory breakfast. Really it is not that far off from Grits with a Side of Bacon, but it somehow seems more exotic with the duck, peanuts, soy sauce and chopped ginger. Hey, if breakfast is at 2pm, it totally makes sense.
