Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice and chicken broth over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
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.
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.
Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and shred them with two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir in salt, black pepper, and soy sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve the porridge hot, drizzled with sesame oil and garnished with chopped green onions and cilantro if using.
Enhance flavors by squeezing a bit of lime juice over each serving, if desired.
