Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 200g) Skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 6 cups Water
- 2 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Peel and slice the ginger into fine matchsticks. Chop the scallions finely, separating the white and green parts.
In a large pot, combine the brown rice, water, and low-sodium chicken broth. Add the sliced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the scallions.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
Add the skinless chicken breast to the pot. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 50-60 minutes, or until the rice becomes very soft and breaks down, creating a porridge consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Remove the chicken breast from the pot and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir well and add salt and ground white pepper to taste.
Drizzle sesame oil into the porridge and mix well.
Serve the porridge hot, garnished with the green parts of the scallions.
