Chicken Bone Broth Congee

Ingredients

• 1 cup Jasmine rice (Washed)
• 7.5 cup Chicken broth or water (Source specifies 7–8 cups; use more broth later if needed)
• 2.5 Chicken thighs (Source specifies 2–3 thighs)
• 1 thumb Fresh ginger (Sliced)
• 2 cloves Garlic
• Salt (To taste)
• Soy sauce (Used as a flavoring; amount not specified)
• Chicken bouillon (Used for additional chicken flavor; amount not specified)
• Marinated soft-boiled egg (For topping; amount and preparation are not specified)
• Scallions (Sliced, for topping)
• Sesame oil (For topping)
• Shiitake oil (For topping)
• White pepper (For topping or seasoning; amount not specified)
• Chili oil (For topping)
• Crispy shallots (For topping)

Steps

1. 1

   Wash the jasmine rice. Prepare the ginger by slicing it and have the garlic ready as aromatics.

2. 2

   Add the chicken thighs, sliced ginger, and garlic to a pot with the chicken broth or water. Gently poach the chicken until cooked through; the source does not specify a poaching time or temperature.

3. 3

   Remove the poached chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool enough to handle. Keep the aromatic broth in the pot.

4. 4

   Add the washed jasmine rice to the same broth. Simmer partially covered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the rice breaks down and the congee is creamy.

5. 5

   Shred the poached chicken and return it to the congee.

6. 6

   Season and flavor the congee with salt to taste. The transcript also mentions soy sauce and chicken bouillon for additional savory chicken flavor; add them according to taste, as no quantities are provided.

7. 7

   If the congee is thicker than desired, add more broth and stir until it reaches the preferred consistency.

8. 8

   Serve topped with a marinated soft-boiled egg, scallions, sesame oil, shiitake oil, white pepper, chili oil, and crispy shallots.

Notes

The source does not provide instructions for preparing the marinated soft-boiled egg or the shiitake oil, chili oil, or crispy shallots. The transcript mentions storing garlic and ginger in an ice cube tray as a convenience, but this is optional and not part of the cooking method.
