Ingredients

• 1 piece Chicken breast
• 1 cup Short-grain rice
• 8 cups Water
• 3 cups Chicken broth
• 2 slices Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 stalks Spring onions
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain the rice and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, combine the 8 cups of water and 3 cups of chicken broth. Add the slices of ginger and bring to a gentle boil.

Step 3

Once boiling, add the rinsed rice to the pot, stir well, and reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 4

While the rice is cooking, place the chicken breast into a separate medium pot filled with water and bring it to a boil. Simmer the chicken for about 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked.

Step 5

Remove the chicken breast from the water, let it cool slightly, and shred it using two forks.

Step 6

Continue cooking the rice for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the porridge reaches your desired consistency.

Step 7

Add the shredded chicken back into the porridge. Season with salt, white pepper, and soy sauce. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Chop the spring onions finely and add them to the porridge just before serving.

Step 9

Drizzle the sesame oil over the porridge for added flavor. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 10

Ladle the porridge into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy your comforting chicken porridge!
