Chicken porridge for the soul

It's been a great Sunday. Great service! Great weather – I love it when it rains, especially on a weekend. It makes all things more sentimental and cozy...

Realised that I've not been in my own sanctuary for a while and since the household needs a little bit of detox, decided to make some chicken porridge to go with the weather..

Own creation :
Rice (soaked for 30min)
Chicken drumstick or whole chicken
Water
Carrots
Cabbage
Garlic and ginger
Spring onion stalk

Modified from Chef J's mom's recipe:
Marinate chicken fillet with Chinese wine, ginger and soy sauce (30min). Steam for 20min.


Boil ingredients in own creation for 1 hour until chicken is soft. Constant stirring is needed to prevent sticky and burnt pot. Remove chicken and shred into strips.
Continue to boil porridge for another hour. Serve with shredded chicken, spring onion, shredded lettuce, ginger, fish sauce and of course, steam chicken fillet by Chef J's mom. Now this is what I called a chicken porridge – jia liao (up sized).
