Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.
- To a small pot, add 3 cups (6 cups) warm water. Bring to a boil over high.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
- To a foil-lined baking baking sheet, add chicken. Season with salt and pepper, then drizzle with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Toss to coat.
- Broil in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.**
- To a large bowl, add chicken. Use 2 forks to shred. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, once the water is boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Using a spoon, lower eggs into the boiling water. Cook for 7 min for runny yolks, or 9 min for set yolks.**
- Drain and rinse egg under cold water for 30 sec, until cool enough to peel.
- Peel, then halve egg. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice mushrooms.
- Peel, then mince or grate ginger.
- Thinly slice green onion.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Heat 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil in a large pot over medium-high.
- When hot, add mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until softened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add ginger. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
- Add rice. Cook for 30 sec, stirring constantly, until toasted.
- To the same pot, add chicken broth concentrate and 3 1/2 cups (7 cups) water. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15-18 min, until rice is tender and congee thickens. (TIP: If you prefer a brothier congee, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time.)
- To the pot with congee, add shredded chicken and any chicken juices from the sheet pan.
- Divide congee between bowls. Top with eggs.
- Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over top.
- Sprinkle with green onions and crispy shallots.
