The Perfect Winter meal 🍲

Chicken Congee with Rice Noodles

Although this dish is simple. Getting it to have a full rich flavor means using the best ingredients and appropriate steps to getting all the aromas infused.

I usually make a big pot because it’s gone within a couple days.

This recipe serves 6-8

What you’ll need:
1 cup toasted jasmine rice
2 chicken breasts (shredded)
2 pork belly strips (sliced and blanched)
3 liters of filtered water (or light chicken broth)
1/2 onion
6 cloves Garlic (minced)
4 slices Ginger (minced)
4 inch piece Pickled Sweetened Radish
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Fish Sauce to taste
1-2 tbsp Chicken bouillon (I used @cookwithknorr)

Aromatics:
Cilantro
Green onion
Sawtooth Coriander

Toppings:
Fried shallots
Fried Garlic
Sambal or hot chili sauce
Soft boiled egg
Chak Kwai Cruller
Salted Soy Beans

Pro Tip: washing your rice well will help prevent it from going bad faster.

For proteins: I cooked them in boiling water for 15-18 minutes depending on size with ginger and salt to remove any gamy smell. Before shredding.
