CHICKEN CONGEE CALORIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Rinse and drain the rice.
• Put the rice in a pot with the chicken stock and bring to boil. Give the rice a good stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking, then lower the heat and half-cover the pan. Simmer gently for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes, until the grains have burst open and you have a thick congee. Keep an eye on the pot to make sure the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom. Toward the end of cooking, when the stock has become integrated with the rice and is the consistency of oatmeal, season lightly with salt to taste.
• Serve the congee with a sprinkling of soy sauce, spring onion and ginger and a few drops of sesame oil to taste.

Steps:

• Place ginger and garlic in a small cast-iron pan over high heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides, 6 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, trim scallion ends and cut the whites from the greens. Tie the scallion whites and cilantro stems together with kitchen twine. Slice the scallion greens and reserve for garnish.
• Bring water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Add the scallion bundle, the garlic, the ginger, chicken legs, dried mushrooms, bouillon paste, salt and sugar. Reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Stir in rice, shrimp and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has the consistency of porridge, about 40 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken, shrimp and mushrooms to a clean cutting board. When cool enough to handle, shred the meat from the chicken, peel and chop the shrimp, and slice the mushrooms. Discard skin, bones and shells. Remove and discard the scallion bundle, ginger and garlic.
• Serve the congee topped with the chicken, shrimp, mushrooms, scallion greens and chopped cilantro. Garnish with lime wedges and spicy chili crisp, if desired.
