Chicken Congee/Arroz Caldo

Ingredients
  

  • 6 pcs chicken(thighs or legs)
  • 2 thumb-size ginger (peeled, chopped finely)
  • 1 sm onion (peeled, chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (peeled, chopped finely)
  • 2 cups rice
  • water (enough to cover)
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a pot, heat up the oil. Cook the onions, garlic, and ginger for 2-3 minutes or so. Add the chicken pieces to brown. Add the rice, and enough water to cover the chicken. Stir in salt and pepper. Use fish sauce instead of salt if you have any. Cover the pot and let that boil until the rice forms a thick, porridge like consistency. Stir occasionally. Add more water if necessary and adjust the seasonings to your taste.
  • Serve in individual bowls, with a squirt of lemon wedge if you want.
