Ingredients
  • 116.9 g chicken breast
  • 48.7 g white rice
  • 29.2 g sweet potato
  • 77.9 g spinach
  • 9.7 g fresh ginger
  • 2.4358 cup water
  • 0.975 tbsp soy sauce
  • 0.9778 tsp sesame oil
  • 0.25 tsp ground white pepper
  • 14.6 g almonds
Method
  1. 01In a medium pot, combine 2.5 cups of water and sliced ginger. Bring to a gentle boil.
  2. 02Add the raw boneless skinless chicken breast to the boiling liquid. Cover and poach over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C). Remove chicken and allow to cool slightly, reserving the poaching liquid in the pot.
  3. 03Shred the cooked chicken finely using two forks.
  4. 04Add the rinsed white rice and finely diced sweet potato into the boiling ginger poaching liquid. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover partially, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice breaks down into a thick, creamy congee consistency.
  5. 05Stir the shredded chicken, fresh spinach, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground white pepper into the warm porridge. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and chicken is heated through.
  6. 06Ladle the hot porridge into a bowl and top with chopped raw almonds before serving.
