Step 1

Start by warming the water in a large pot over medium heat. Add the lemongrass, bay leaves, garlic, ginger, and turmeric powder, letting them simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Into the pot, add the riced cauliflower. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower becomes tender.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the salt, pepper, and soy sauce, adjusting seasoning to taste.

Step 6

To serve, divide the cauliflower porridge into bowls. Top each serving with shredded chicken, a sprinkle of fried shallots, spring onions, and celery leaves.
