Ingredients(6)

Chicken breast, skinless, shredded127.6 g
Rice, white, long-grain, cooked100.6 g
Kale, raw, chopped31.3 g
Fresh Ginger, julienned7.9 g
Honey (for balance)15.9 g
Olive oil (for sautéing)1.6 g

Instructions

1

In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked rice with 2 cups of water or light chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice has broken down into a creamy, porridge-like consistency.

2

While the congee simmers, heat 1g of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shredded chicken breast and half the julienned ginger, sautéing until the chicken is warmed through and fragrant.

3

In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and the kale. Sauté until the kale is wilted and crispy at the edges. Season with a pinch of sea salt.

4

Stir the remaining fresh ginger into the congee just before serving to maintain its bright, spicy bite.

5

To plate, ladle the creamy congee into a deep bowl. Top with the warm shredded chicken and the crispy kale. Drizzle with a touch of honey to balance the savory-spicy profile and garnish with fresh scallions if desired.
