Chinese Chicken Congee
Ingredients
Method
To make the congee, combine the oil, garlic, ginger and spring onions in a large heavy based non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir fry until the aromatics are golden and fragrant.
Add the Shaoxin rice wine, rice and stock. Bring to a boil, add the chicken, then reduce to a simmer to cook until the rice has broken down to a thick soup.
In between, remove the chicken when it is cooked through, shred with 2 forks or fingers and set aside. If the congee is a little thick, simply add more stock or water - the rice tends to be thirsty!
Add salt to taste, return the shredded chicken to the pot, stir and serve piping hot - each bowl with a drizzle of soy and sesame oil, a decent shake of white pepper, then a garnish of spring onions, ginger, coriander and fried shallots.

< 20 This combo of seasonings goes with anything but it’s particularly good for a vegetarian option because the chilli bean sauce is so flavourful and adds an incredible depth of flavour to vegetables. Any variety of rice will suit this dish but because it’s a vegetarian dish I like pairing it with brown rice for its nuttiness and robust bite.
Poh's Chinese steamed fish
< 1hr This is truly an unbeatable way to eat fish and this recipe will give you
that classic steamed fish you find eating out but can never seem to
replicate at home. It’s ridiculously simple and the trick is all in the final
flourish when you pour that scalding peanut oil over the fish, blistering
the skin and scalding the aromatics – the fragrance released is unforgettable.
