What congee dish is flavored with century egg and lean pork?

The congee dish flavored with century egg and lean pork is century egg and lean pork congee. In Cantonese, it is called pei dan sau juk zuk, or 皮蛋瘦肉粥. Its main ingredients are rice porridge, pieces of preserved century egg, and marinated lean pork.

The dish comes from Cantonese cuisine and is commonly served at dim sum restaurants, breakfast shops, and home kitchens. Century eggs are duck, chicken, or quail eggs preserved in an alkaline mixture until the white becomes dark and jelly-like and the yolk turns creamy.

Congee itself is rice slowly cooked in plenty of water until the grains break down. The English word comes through Portuguese from the Tamil word kanji, while Chinese varieties are generally called zhou in Mandarin and juk in Cantonese.

A common mix-up is confusing this dish with plain congee topped with a century egg. Traditional versions cook the pork and egg with the porridge, although recipes vary and may include salted duck egg, ginger, spring onion, or youtiao.
