Chicken Brown Rice Porridge



Simple ways to garnish a simple bowl of porridge.

Too busy or lazy to cook lunch during the weekend but even lazier to step out of the house to buy food from the crowdy foodcourt? Do try out this simple & healthy meal. By saving time preparing this simple meal, I am able to sew a bag up in the afternoon and my kids still gets to eat though simple yet healthy homecook meal. 

This recipes is enough for 4 person.

Ingredients and method as follow:

-  3/4 cup of brown rice(can mix with some pearl/jasmine rice)
** Washed, drained and put to cook in the rice cooker on the cook porridge function (follow the manual instruction)

-  Half a piece of chicken breast. Blanch with boiling water then when the rice starts to boil, add the uncut chicken meat into the porridge & let it cook together till ready.

-  One broccoli flower, cut into smaller piece. One small carrot, cut into slices. Blanched in boiling water with added pinch of salt & some oil. Drain and set aside.

- 3 eggs, beaten, add salt & pepper for seasoning and add some corn starch (1tbsp corn flour + 2 tbsp water). Fry the egg in a flat non-stick pan or wok, into thin pieces & cut into strips.

- fried some shallot slices in oil til slightly brown and set aside.

Once the chicken porridge is ready, scoop some into a large deep bowl or deep plate. Take out the chicken breast & wash with some plain water to get rid of the sticky porridge, peel/cut the chicken meat into thin strips. Garnish with the other ready ingredient, sprinkle some diced fresh spring onion/chinese parsley. Add a dash of white pepper powder & some soy sauce and serve while hot.

*** You may add in any other ingredients you desire, such as century eggs, chicken floss, sweet corns etc. Alternatively, just the chicken porridge & fried shallots with a dash of white pepper powder & some soy sauce is already very yummy. Or just plain porridge w/o the chicken meat with the other ingredients.

I am a teowchew lady, so porridge is my favourite.  So enjoy! Cook anyhow you like it, better than eating outside food which is oily, fattening and unhealthy.
