Chicken Rice Congee Food

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.

• Add the shredded chicken back into the congee and mix well.

• Let this boil on a low heat for about 1 hour.
• (this is to bring out the flavor or the spices and scallops) Do check on the congee frequently and give it a stir, so that the rice doesn't stick and burn at the bottom of the pot.
• NOTE: The congee is boiled at low heat, so that the congee will be smooth.
• NOTE: The more frequently you stir the congee, the faster the rice grains will break down, making the porridge smoother and tastier.
• Pour in the carrots, and allow the congee to continue simmering.
• Take the chicken out of the fridge, and pour it into the congee.
• (a fair bit of water would have disappeared by now; thus adding the chicken won't cause it to overflow) Add 2 cups boiling hot water into the pot, and stir the congee.
• Allow this to cook for about 15 minutes.
• Add the broccoli into the pot.
• Allow the congee to cook until you are happy with the thickness of the congee.
• Bring the congee to a boil, while continuously stirring it.
• Once it boils, turn the heat off, and drop the two eggs into the pot of congee.
