Chicken Congee
Chicken congee is a soothing rice porridge, simmered until the grains break down into a creamy, comforting base. This version starts by marinating chicken pieces with ginger cordial and seasoning, then adding them to the congee during the final cooking stage. It’s finished with fresh ginger, spring onions, and a sprinkle of coriander for a bright, aromatic note.
