- 6 cups Chicken Broth
- 1 cup Chicken (Shredded)
- 1/2 cup Carrot (Diced)
- 1/2 cup Celery (Diced)
- 1/2 cup Onion (Diced)
- 1 tbsp Ginger (Minced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (Minced)
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce (Gluten-Free)

- 1/4 tsp White Pepper
- to taste Salt

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place the 1 cup Gluten-Free Rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear, about 1 minute. Drain well.
- 2In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine the rinsed 1 cup Gluten-Free Rice, 6 cups Chicken Broth, 1 cup Chicken (Shredded), 1/2 cup Carrot (Diced), 1/2 cup Celery (Diced), 1/2 cup Onion (Diced), 1 tbsp Ginger (Minced), and 2 cloves Garlic (Minced).
- 3Place the pot over high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, about 5-7 minutes. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently. Cook for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes to prevent sticking, until the rice is very soft and the porridge has thickened to your desired consistency. The porridge should look creamy and have a slightly soupy texture.
- 4Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in 1 tbsp Soy Sauce (Gluten-Free), 1 tbsp Fish Sauce, and 1/4 tsp White Pepper. Taste the porridge and add Salt as needed until it is seasoned to your liking.
- 5Ladle the hot Bubur Lambuk into individual serving bowls. Garnish generously with the chopped Cilantro and a sprinkle of Fried Shallots, if desired.
