INGREDIENTS

3 oz chicken breast

2 cup chicken bone broth

0.25 cup jasmine rice

1 cup shiitake mushrooms

1 tsp fresh ginger

1 clove garlic

1 tsp toasted sesame oil

1 tbsp tamari

1 stalk scallion

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp white pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

• 2

  In a medium heavy-bottomed pot, combine the rinsed rice, chicken bone broth, minced ginger, and minced garlic.

• 3

  Bring the liquid to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes.

• 4

  While the rice simmers, thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and slice the shiitake mushrooms.

• 5

  Stir the congee occasionally to ensure the rice breaks down and doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.

• 6

  Add the sliced chicken, mushrooms, and tamari to the pot during the last 15 minutes of cooking, stirring well.

• 7

  Once the rice has reached a thick, silky consistency, season the porridge with sea salt and white pepper.

• 8

  Ladle the congee into a bowl and garnish with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil and freshly sliced scallions.
