- 1 onion (medium size)
- 1/2 carrot
- A handful of chives (approx. 50g)

- 1/2 green onion stalk
- 5-6 whole garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups soaked rice (soaked in cold water for at least 30 minutes)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re making ‘Vegetable Chicken Porridge’, a perfect dish to boost your energy during the summer. Let’s prepare this delicious porridge at home.
Step 2
Prepare one whole chicken, fresh chives, carrots, onion, and potato. You can add other vegetables too.
Step 3
Clean the chicken thoroughly. For the broth, prepare a piece of radish, a large chunk of carrot, green onion, and whole garlic cloves. Place the chicken and these vegetables in a pot, cover with plenty of water, and boil until the chicken is fully cooked (about 40-60 minutes).
Step 4
While the chicken is boiling, finely chop the carrot, chives, potato, and onion for stir-frying. Chop them to a suitable size so they cook evenly and don’t take too long.
Step 5
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Then, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Keep the chicken bones and the boiled vegetables; they will be used for the broth.
Step 6
Heat a pot with a little oil over medium-low heat. Add the chopped carrots, potatoes, and onions, and sauté until they become translucent. Once the vegetables start to soften, add the soaked rice and stir-fry together until the rice grains turn translucent. Stir-frying the rice grains makes the porridge richer and prevents the grains from becoming mushy.
Step 7
After stir-frying the rice and vegetables, strain the chicken broth and pour it generously over the mixture (about 6-7 cups of broth for 1.5 cups of rice). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat. Stir frequently to prevent sticking, and cook until the rice grains have softened and broken down.
Step 8
Once the porridge has reached your desired consistency, add the shredded chicken meat and the chopped chives. Cook for another few minutes until everything is well combined. Your delicious Vegetable Chicken Porridge is now ready!
Step 9
Serve the deliciously cooked Vegetable Chicken Porridge in bowls for a hearty and satisfying meal.
