    Thank you (: My girlfriend is Vietnamese and does not have family near us. Sometimes she gets very sad because she misses the food from there so sometimes we go to the vietnamese market to get food there. Today I decided to cook her this because she mentioned she really wanted to eat it again. She loved it (: Thanks again

      That's is extremely awesome of you. I've had the pleasure of meeting a few Vietnamese women who embrace their culture 100%. I was very jealous of their husband's, because they didn't treat these very smart and very creative Vietnamese women in the best of ways. I'd love to meet a traditional Vietnamese woman to establish a relationship with. Its hard for me, only because I'm introverted.

    Thank you so much for the tutorial! This was a childhood comfort food for me too. Now I want to cook it for my kids to introduce them to the Vietnamese food I was brought up on. Dad used to serve this with a side of Vietnamese herbal coleslaw.
    Edited to add: I used your recipe and it was a success! My family loved it! So delicious!

    My grandmother used to make this when we were kids :D She's Dutch-Indonesian so we know it as "bubur ayam" but it's very similar. It's nice with thinly-sliced leek or cabbage in it and a good way to sneak vegetables into kids. I'll have to give it a try, my grandmother doesn't really follow a recipe so I never did work out how to do it properly. Thank-you for the instructions! :D

      good idea!! I always think its a good way to use up leftover meat, but my Vietnamese friend say "chicken must be cooked in the soup or not tasty" So i did not. I so glad you mention this, now I know someone have experience to the taste of it this way! Thanks for post ^.^

    So I found this video today and I tried it. It was so flavourful and aromatic, it made my kitchen smell wonderful! I was intimidated by the whole chicken, so I used chicken wings instead, and I threw in a turnip with my onion, but it came out wonderful! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipie~

  • @elinordashwood7148
    @elinordashwood7148 3 місяці тому

    I love the way you boil the chicken separately with the bones first, which then gives you the rich bone broth for the congee, ready to go, instead of plain water!

    yes you can use the same technique to cook plain porridge, and then add in ground pork when the congee is almost cooked. But then it is not "chicken congee" anymore. It's ground pork congee hehe

    Interesting that you use both glutinous and jasmine rice. My parents only used jasmine rice in our congee and we like ours with less water so it's more dense. I like eating mine topped with sliced green onions, sliced cilantro, fried shallots, and homemade garlic hot pepper. Mmmm!!! BTW, your hair looks great!!

    I have had chicken porridge in almost every Asian country (excl. Laos and Burma/Myanmar). It seems to be quite ubiquitous amongst Asian cultures (thanks China). My favorite versions happen to be South Korean and Malaysian. Korean version had tons of garlic that was sweet and mellow. Malaysian version was very bold do it adding dark soy sauce and a little Black Vinegar.

    Hi Helen, I'm excited to give your recipe a try! It will be my first time making porridge, I've been hesitant to do so. But, I've never had to cook a while chicken before - how do I wash the chicken before cooking it? Is it needed to do that, and are there any "insides" that shouldn't be there before I cook it? Please let me know the soonest you can! 😊

    • @HelenRecipes
      @HelenRecipes  11 років тому +1

      It depends where you buy the chicken. Mostly at supermarkets, all the insides have been taken out. So just rub with some salt and rinse under tap water.

    A so called "Suppenhuhn" is a chicken with more fat than a normal chicken. In germany we use the "Suppenhuhn" to create a broth and I bet it is the right choice for your dish here.
