Ingredients
- 45 g Rice, white, long-grain
- 110 g Chicken thighs, skin-on, raw
- 15 g Ginger, fresh
- 8 g Garlic, raw
- 30 g Onions, raw
- 6 g Fish sauce

Method
- Hard-boil the egg in a small pot of water for 9-10 minutes; cool, peel and slice, and set aside.

- Add the chicken and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until it changes colour on the outside.
- Stir in the rice, then pour in the chicken broth and water; bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat and simmer gently, stirring often so it doesn't catch, for 25-30 minutes until the rice breaks down into a thick, creamy porridge and the chicken is cooked through (74°C/165°F); season with the fish sauce.
