Ingredients

• 200 grams jasmine rice
• 1.2 liters water
• 250 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 5 grams ginger
• 1 stalk lemon grass, bruised
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 pieces bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fried shallots
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 50 grams salty crackers (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice with 1.2 liters of water. Add the ginger (sliced into large pieces), lemon grass, garlic, and bay leaves.

Step 3

Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Meanwhile, bring another small pot of water to boil and add the chicken breast. Poach the chicken until fully cooked, about 15 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the heat and let it cool slightly before shredding it into thin pieces with two forks.

Step 6

Once the rice has cooked to a soft, porridge consistency, remove the ginger, lemon grass, and bay leaves.

Step 7

Stir in the shredded chicken, salt, and white pepper to the porridge. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.

Step 8

To serve, ladle the porridge into bowls. Top each serving with a drizzle of low sodium soy sauce, a generous sprinkle of scallions, and fried shallots. Optionally, add salty crackers for extra crunch.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your healthy and comforting Low Fat Bubur Ayam.
