Ingredients

1 cup jasmine rice, rinsed
8 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
4 slices fresh ginger, sliced
4 garlic cloves, smashed
4 shallots, thinly sliced
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
4 green onions (scallions), sliced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground white pepper

Instructions

1

In a medium pot, combine 1 cup rinsed jasmine rice, 8 cups low-sodium chicken stock, 4 slices sliced fresh ginger, and 4 smashed garlic cloves. Bring to a boil over high heat, then add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
2

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover partially, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice has broken down into a thick, creamy porridge. The boneless, skinless chicken thighs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
3

Remove the boneless, skinless chicken thighs and shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Discard the fresh ginger slices and garlic cloves. Season the porridge with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp ground white pepper.
4

While the porridge cooks, heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 4 thinly sliced shallots and fry, stirring, for 6-8 minutes until deep golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a paper-towel-lined plate.
5

Ladle the porridge into bowls. Top each with shredded boneless, skinless chicken thighs, crispy shallots, 2 thinly sliced celery stalks, and 4 sliced green onions (scallions). Drizzle with 2 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tsp toasted sesame oil. Serve hot.
