Salmon Congee
This is the easiest and un-hassling food to have for dinner. Just remember to eat more than your usual portion as it is very liquidity, and you are good 
You could use absolutely anything to make a congee, from fish, egg, liver to chicken, beef or pork. It is all depending on your appetite.
I remember when I was little I used to watch those sad Chinese films where the family is really poor and don’t have food enough to feed the whole family, so the mother cook congee instead of rice so that the whole family could have dinner. Anyway, I cook congee not because I don’t have enough rice to cook for dinner, but because my husband loves eating salmon congee accompanied with original crinkles cut chips, and it has been a long time since he had his last one.
