Ingredients

• 2 oz white rice
• 2½ cups chicken stock
• 3 oz chicken breast
• ½ scallion

Method

1. Rinse the rice in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. Combine the rice and stock in a heavy pot, bring to a boil, then turn the heat right down.
3. Cook, stirring every few minutes to keep the bottom from catching, until the grains break down and the mixture is thick and creamy, about 30 minutes.
4. Add the chicken and poach gently until cooked through, about 12 minutes, then shred it into the pot.
5. Season aggressively with salt. Congee needs more than you expect. Top with the green parts of the scallion.
