INGREDIENTS
- 1000ml Natural Spring Water
- 1 cup rice
DIRECTIONS
Prepare the Ingredients.
Rinse the rice thoroughly, then soak it in Natural Spring Water for half an hour.
Cut the chicken into small pieces, mix with cooking wine, salt, pepper, cornstarch, and sesame oil, and marinate for a while.
Slice the shiitake mushrooms, dice the carrot, and chop the celery and ginger finely.
Tips:
If using dried shiitake mushrooms, remember to soak them in advance.
Pour Natural Spring Water into a pot. Good water quality is crucial for the porridge's flavor and texture.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then add the rice and stir. Reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Once the porridge thickens, add the shiitake mushrooms, carrot, and ginger. Stir well and continue to simmer. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
When the ingredients are partially cooked, add the marinated chicken breast to the pot. Stir quickly to cook the chicken through.
Finally, add the chopped celery and bring to a boil before turning off the heat.
Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
The fragrant and delicious Mushroom, Chicken, and Vegetable porridge is ready to serve. Enjoy a warm and satisfying bowl for breakfast to start your day full of energy.
