Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Clean the chicken thoroughly and set aside. Wash and chop the green onions thinly and finely dice the carrots. Keep the vegetables aside. -
Cook the Chicken:
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the cleaned chicken pieces and cook until tender. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pot and set aside. Retain the broth as it will be used as the base for your porridge. -
-
Shred the Chicken:
After the chicken has cooled slightly, shred or finely chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set it aside for later use. -
Prepare the Rice Porridge:
Add the rice to the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot. -
Add Vegetables and Seasoning:
Once the rice starts to thicken, incorporate the diced carrots and chopped green onions. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the rice porridge reaches a creamy and slightly thickened consistency. -
Adjust Consistency:
If the porridge is too thick, gradually add more chicken broth or water, stirring constantly to ensure an even texture. Allow it to simmer until the desired consistency is achieved. -
Finish and Serve:
Once the porridge is smooth and tender, it is ready to be served. Spoon the porridge onto a plate or into a bowl and top with the shredded chicken. Serve hot and enjoy!
