Instructions

1

In a heavy-bottomed pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the chicken thighs, galangal powder, and a generous pinch of salt. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the chicken is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.

2

Stir the jasmine rice into the simmering poaching liquid. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes until the rice has broken down and the consistency is silky and porridge-like. Add the chopped bok choy and cook for 2 minutes until wilted.

3

Return the shredded chicken to the pot to warm through. Season with fish sauce and white pepper to taste. To plate, ladle the steaming congee into a deep bowl, top with a generous handful of fresh bean sprouts, and finish with a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for brightness.
