Century egg congee


Stuff you need (serve 4):
1 preserved century egg
1 salted duck egg
1 cup of rice mixed with a handful of glutinous rice (pre-soaked for 1 hour)
2 chicken thigh fillets (trimmed and diced) and marinated with soy sauce + sesame oil
1 shallot finely diced
spring onion and coriander for garnish
served with "chinese friend bread" or youtiao (optional)

This is a very simple and great tasting recipe that I would like to share with you. I must admit I don't think it's as healthy as your regular oat porridge lol! First, you boil the eggs and roughly diced them. With a hot pan, add oil and stir fry the shallot until brown, then add the chicken fillets. Add all the ingredients, including the cooked chicken into a large pot with 4 cups of water. You can substitute a cup of water with some chicken stock for more taste. I prefer to use pressure cooker because it will cook a whole lot faster. If you use regular pot, you will have to stir and porridge occasionally while cooking on low heat. Cook until the porridge is smooth and thick, you can adjust the consistency by adding more water to you liking. Add salt and paper to taste and serve hot with "youtiao".
