Guo Jingcheng Congee Soup

Guo Jingcheng Congee Soup

　　The congee offered at Guo Jingcheng is not the same as the common Taiwanese rice noodle soup or Hakka rice strip dishes found elsewhere. It represents a traditional way of eating from the early agricultural society. The vendor cooks pickled vegetables, pork intestines, chives, scallions, and other ingredients in a large pot along with oil-leek rice cakes cut into strips, creating a rich and flavorful broth. Then, large intestines, sticky rice sausages, or blood sausages are added to make a complete soup. The broth is fresh and savory, the ingredients are generous and wholesome, offering an incredibly rich taste. (Chiayi)
