Chicken Porridge

This Chicken Porridge is a warm, comforting dish perfect for any time of the day. Simmered slowly, the rice becomes silky and thick, absorbing the rich flavors of chicken stock, tender shredded chicken, and carrots. The fried shallots add a savory crunch, while fresh spring onions, parsley, and julienned ginger bring a vibrant finish.

This dish is not only nourishing but also customizable—add a dash of soy sauce, a sprinkle of white pepper, or a soft-boiled egg for extra depth. Serve hot and enjoy a soothing, hearty meal!
