Chicken Congee with Ginger and Scallions (Dairy & Nut-Free)

Ingredients

• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Cooked rice
• 1 cup Shredded cooked chicken
• 2 tbsp Ginger
• 1/4 cup Scallions
• 1 tbsp Fish sauce
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper
• 4 servings Lime wedges

Instructions

1. 1Place 6 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of cooked rice into a large heavy-bottomed pot. Turn the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, which is when you'll see large, rapid bubbles across the surface. Immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 30 to 40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and cook until the rice grains have broken down and the mixture has thickened to a porridge-like consistency.
2. 2Add the 1 cup of shredded cooked chicken, 2 tablespoons of ginger, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the pot. Stir everything together well. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
3. 3Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
4. 4Ladle the congee into individual serving bowls. Garnish each bowl with the 1/4 cup of scallions and serve immediately with 1 serving of lime wedges on the side.
