Ingredients

  • 1 litre Chicken Stock
  • 500ml water
  • 4 slices fresh young ginger
  • 1/2 cup long grain rice
  • 200g chicken tenderloin, diced into 1cm pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine
  • Salt and ground white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely sliced green onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fried shallots (see note)
  • 2 teaspoons fried garlic (see note)
  • Soy sauce to serve

Method

Step 1
Bring the chicken stock, water and ginger to a boil in a large heavy based saucepan over a high heat. Add the rice and reduce the heat to medium–low. Simmer steadily for 1 hour, covered stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from catching until thickened and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Step 2
Add the chicken to the congee, cover and simmer for 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked. Add the rice wine to the congee and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Serve the congee in bowls, sprinkle with the green onion, drizzle with sesame oil and top with the fried shallots and garlic. Serve with soy sauce on the side.
