Chicken Porridge Food

CHICKEN CONGEE (RICE PORRIDGE)

Steps:

• To make the chicken, season the chicken thighs with some salt. In a pot, bring water to a boil and season it with salt. Add the chicken thighs into the boiling water and let boil for about 7-8 minutes, or until cooked thoroughly. Remove from heat and let chill. Shred the chicken by hand into fine, long strips.
• In a pot, bring 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil at high heat. When the broth is boiling, add the uncooked rice into the pot and stir constantly to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom. Let the rice cook for 15 minutes while stirring occasionally. After 15 minutes, the rice should become fluffy and soft. Continue cooking the rice for another 10 minutes while stirring constantly. After 10 minutes, add another cup of chicken broth, stir, and cook for another 5 minutes. The porridge should have very soft, thick texture. If you want your porridge to more watery, you can add more chicken broth to your taste. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
• To make eggs, place two eggs in a pot and fill up the pot with boiling water slowly until both eggs are fully submerged. Cover with lid and let cook for 15 minutes. Do not turn on the stove, the heat from boiling water itself will cook the eggs to a soft, half-cooked texture. After 15 minutes, transfer eggs into a bowl of cold water to stop it from cooking further.
• Transfer rice porridge into two medium-sized bowls. If porridge becomes too thick, add a little bit of hot water and stir. Crack an egg onto each bowl of porridge and top with the shredded chicken, fried shallots, green onions, soy sauce, and coriander.

• Pour the chicken broth into the pot. Add the sweet rice and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil; cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to assure the rice is not sticking to the bottom of the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the green onion, and serve with lemon slices and additional fish sauce, if desired.

CHICKEN CONGEE

Steps:

• Rinse and drain the rice.
• Put the rice in a pot with the chicken stock and bring to boil. Give the rice a good stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking, then lower the heat and half-cover the pan. Simmer gently for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes, until the grains have burst open and you have a thick congee. Keep an eye on the pot to make sure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom. Toward the end of cooking, when the stock has become integrated with the rice and is the consistency of oatmeal, season lightly with salt to taste.
• Serve the congee with a sprinkling of soy sauce, spring onion and ginger and a few drops of sesame oil to taste.

CHINESE CHICKEN AND RICE PORRIDGE (CONGEE)

Steps:

• Bring chicken and water to a boil in a 5-quart heavy pot, skimming froth. Add wine, ginger, scallions, and salt and cook at a bare simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes, or until breast meat is just cooked through. Trasfer 1 breast half with tongs to a bowl and continue to cook stock at a bare simmer, skimming froth as neccessary, 2 hours and 40 minutes. Meanwhile, cool chicken breast long enough to remove skin and bones, returning skin and bones to stock.
• Cool breast meat completely and tear into shreds. Chill shreds, covered, and bring to room temperature before serving.
• Pour stock through a large seive into a large bowl and discard solids. (you should have about 8 cups: if less, add water; if more, cook longer after adding rice.) Return stock to cleaned pot and add rice. Bring to a boil and stir. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered until consistency of oatmeal, about 1 3/4 hours, stirring frequently during last 1/2 hour of cooking. (Congee will continue to thicken as it stands. thin with water if necessary.)
• Season congee with salt. Serve topped with chicken and accompaniments.

CHICKEN CONGEE (鸡粥)

Steps:

• Wash rice in a bowl:
• Start boiling water. Chop ginger into thin slices, and then into thin strips. Chop a few strands of cilantro and green onion into small pieces.
• Cut the chicken into thin slices and place it in a bowl to marinate.
• Pour the boiled water from earlier into a pot, set on high heat, and wait for the pot to boil before adding our rice. It's important not to add the rice before the pot starts boiling.
• Once the pot is boiling again, we'll partially cover the pot and let it cook at medium heat for 25 minutes.
• Once we've hit 25 minutes, we can either proceed with this step or cook it for longer.
• Set the stove to high heat, and slowly add the chicken over the course of 30 to 60 seconds, stirring constantly as you go. If you add it all at once, it will clump up.
• Almost there! Add the strips of ginger, as well as salt and chicken bouillon. Stir everything around for 20-30 seconds.
• Turn off the heat, and pour the jook into your favorite bowl. Garnish with the green onions and cilantro.

ARROZ CALDO (CHICKEN RICE PORRIDGE)

Steps:

• Place both of the rices in a bowl, cover with cold water and set aside to soak. Place the chicken in a large saucepan or stockpot and cover with 2.5 litres (85 fl oz / 10 cups) water. Bring to the boil over medium heat, skimming any scum from the surface, then reduce the heat to low-medium and simmer for 40 minutes, or until the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced with a knife. Remove the chicken from the stock and set aside to cool slightly; reserve the stock.
• Put the vegetable oil and sliced garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously for 5 minutes, or until the garlic is golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Return the saucepan to the heat, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring until soft. Add the chopped garlic and ginger and stir for a further 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
• Drain the rice, add to the pan with the onion and stir for 2 minutes, or until the rice grains are well coated. Add the fish sauce and 2 litres (68 fl oz / 8 cups) of the stock, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes, or until the rice is very soft and starting to break up, and the mixture has thickened. Thin with a little extra stock to a porridge-like consistency, then season with salt flakes.
• Shred the chicken, discarding the skin and bones. Divide three-quarters of the chicken among serving bowls, then ladle over the rice mixture. Top with the remaining chicken, then scatter with the fried garlic and spring onion. Serve with hardboiled eggs, sesame oil, if using, and kalamansi.
