Ingredients
- 4 cups rice (paper cup measurement)
- A little carrot (finely chopped or julienned)
- 5 cups chicken broth (use broth from boiled chicken)
- 1/2 zucchini (cut into small pieces)
- A little chicken breast (shredded or minced)
- A little chives (finely chopped)
- 1 onion (finely chopped or julienned)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today’s feature is the comforting and nutritious ‘Vegetable Chicken Porridge’. We’ll make it deliciously using leftover boiled chicken!
Step 2
First, prepare one whole chicken for boiling. Remove the skin and clean the chicken thoroughly. In a pot, add the chicken along with whole garlic cloves, a piece of green onion, and coarse salt. Boil until the chicken is fully cooked to create a flavorful chicken broth. This broth will add deep flavor to your porridge.
Step 3
While the chicken is cooking, let’s prepare the vegetables. Wash the onion, carrot, and zucchini clean. Use a mortar and pestle or a food processor to finely grind or mince them. Lightly grease a frying pan with sesame oil, then sauté the prepared vegetables until they become translucent. As the vegetables cook, their natural sweetness will enhance the porridge’s flavor. Add the pre-soaked rice and stir-fry with the vegetables for another 2-3 minutes. Coating the rice grains with oil helps prevent the porridge from clumping and makes it smoother.
Step 4
Once the rice grains are somewhat translucent, generously pour in 5 cups of the chicken broth that was used to boil the chicken. If you don’t have enough chicken broth, you can use plain water or a chicken broth packet. Start by boiling over high heat, then reduce to medium-low once it comes to a boil.
Step 5
After reducing to medium-low heat, stir frequently with a spatula or ladle to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice grains are soft and the porridge has thickened. You can add more broth if needed during this process.
Step 6
When the porridge is nearly done, add the shredded or minced chicken breast from the boiled chicken. The chicken breast will integrate smoothly into the porridge. Season with coarse salt or soy sauce, adjusting to your taste. If it’s bland, add salt; if you want more umami, a touch of soy sauce works well.
Step 7
All ingredients are well combined and the porridge is complete! Your warm and hearty vegetable chicken porridge is ready to be served.
Step 8
Finally, sprinkle freshly chopped chives over the porridge as a garnish. The fragrant chives will further enhance the flavor of the chicken porridge. It’s best enjoyed hot! Enjoy this comforting meal that takes care of everyone’s health – your Vegetable Chicken Porridge!
