Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 8 cups water or chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 inch ginger, sliced thinly
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded (optional)
- 1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- Soft-boiled eggs, for topping
- Cilantro, for garnish
- Sliced radishes, for garnish
- Chili oil, for drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- 1Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- 2In a large pot, combine rinsed rice, water or chicken broth, salt, ginger, and green onions.
- 3Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- 4After an hour, check the consistency; if it's too thick, add more broth or water to reach your desired consistency. The rice should be very soft and creamy.
- 5Add soy sauce and sesame oil to the porridge, stirring well.
- 6If adding mushrooms, stir them in at this stage and let cook for an additional 10 minutes until tender.
- 7Serve hot in bowls, topped with shredded chicken, soft-boiled eggs, radishes, and cilantro. Drizzle with chili oil if desired.
