Perfect For
All ages
Shiro's Method
Boil the water and add the rice and chicken.
Pressure cook or slow boil until the rice is completely mushy and the water is absorbed into a thick porridge.
Ensure there are no large chunks of chicken.
Let it cool completely before serving in small portions.
Storage
Can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat slightly before serving so it's not ice-cold.
Serving Amount
1/2 cup to 1 cup per meal depending on size
