Why does congee taste so bland?

[hoyeon]

Hi! Congee's mild flavor is due to its simple, unseasoned base, which makes it versatile for adding different toppings or flavors. Does the blandness seem like an issue, or do you think it’s perfect for customization?

Congee’s mildness is its charm! It’s like a blank canvas waiting for your favorite toppings—soy sauce, scallions, a dash of sesame oil, or a sprinkle of crispy shallots. You can make it sweet or savory, depending on your mood. Embrace the simplicity and let your creativity shine!

Congee’s all about the toppings and seasoning! Add soy sauce, ginger, scallions, or chili oil for a flavor boost.
