Some notes to help duck egg congee taste better
- Do not add preserved duck eggs too early to avoid losing color and richness in flavor.
- The congee tastes better when cooked just right, not overcooked.
- Fresh meat should be added to the pot for a sweeter congee; if you prefer, you can stir-fry the meat with a bit of onion and then add it to the congee.
- Fish sauce should be added to the pot just before serving for a fragrant smell.
