pinch of salt

2 spring onions (chopped)

1 ltr & 20ml water or chicken stock or 1/2 chicken stock cube

Cooking Method

Step 1

Rinse the chicken breast and keep aside.

Step 2

Peel the ginger and shred, first cutting off 2 slices.

Step 3

Rinse the rice in cold water and drain.

Step 4

Place the rice and sliced ginger in a pot with the water or chicken stock and bring to the boil.

Step 5

Reduce heat and allow the rice to simmer (with the lid off) for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

When the rice starts to break up, add the whole chicken breast to the pot.

Step 7

Continue cooking the porridge for a further 10 minutes, adding water if necessary to maintain a porridge-like consistency.

Step 8

When porridge is cooked, remove the chicken breast with a slotted spoon and allow to cool on a plate.

Step 9

Season the porridge with a pinch of salt, pepper and light soya sauce to taste.

Step 10

When the chicken breast is cool enough to handle, place it on a clean chopping board, cover with clingfilm or foil and using a rolling pin, bash the chicken breast a couple to times to separate the fibres.

Step 11

Now it is easy to break up the chicken to garnish the porridge.

Step 12

To serve, spoon the porridge into 2 bowls, discarding the sliced ginger.
