Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 200 grams plant-based chicken strips
- 2 tablespoons ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fried shallots
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This will help remove excess starch and prevent the porridge from becoming gummy.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the rinsed rice to the boiling broth, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Step 4
Meanwhile, mince the ginger and garlic. Slice the plant-based chicken strips into bite-sized pieces. Chop the green onions and cilantro finely.
Step 5
In a small skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, sautéing for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the plant-based chicken strips to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they are lightly browned and heated through.
Step 7
Once the rice has broken down and the porridge has reached your desired consistency, stir in the soy sauce, white pepper, and salt.
Step 8
Add the cooked plant-based chicken, ginger, and garlic mixture to the porridge. Stir well to combine.
Step 9
Allow the porridge to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are heated thoroughly.
Step 10
Ladle the porridge into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and a sprinkle of fried shallots on top.
Step 11
Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Vegetarian Chicken Porridge.
