Honestly, most of the time we would have congee with sides and condiments from jars. Some preserved items are well known for accompanying homemade congee.

Soy beans (tau ceo / tau chief), olive mustard greens (gan na cai), fermented beancurd, fermented radish, anything that adds umami and texture

Fresh sides are a luxury, usually something you get at a restaurant; a lot of this is deep poverty food
