Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 8 cups Chicken broth
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, sliced
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 2 pieces Lime wedges (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice and chicken broth over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
Step 3
Add the chicken thighs to the pot along with the sliced ginger and minced garlic. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot.
Step 4
Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 50 minutes or until the rice breaks down and the porridge thickens. If the porridge is too thick, add a bit more broth or water to reach desired consistency.
Step 5
Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and shred them with two forks.
Step 6
Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir in salt, black pepper, and soy sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Step 7
Serve the porridge hot, drizzled with sesame oil and garnished with chopped green onions and cilantro if using.
Step 8
Enhance flavors by squeezing a bit of lime juice over each serving, if desired.
