Instructions
- Assemble all your ingredients. Ready, set, go!
- Rinse the rice thoroughly, add ½ teaspoon of salt and let marinate for 30 minutes.
- Wash the chicken with ½ tablespoon kosher salt and a lime wedge, then rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Place the chicken, bruised ginger, bruised lemongrass, onion, water, rinsed rice, salt, fish sauce, and salt in a pressure cooker.
- Seal with the lid and cook for 45 minutes on high pressure.
- After cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 15-20 minutes. This prevents the rice from clogging up the vent. Then open the lid and release the rest of the pressure.
- Remove the chicken, lemongrass, onion, and ginger from the chicken porridge.
- Set the chicken aside and tear off as much of the meat as you will use and set aside.
- Assemble the Vietnamese congee: pour some rice porridge into bowls, leaving enough room for all the toppings. Top with shredded chicken, cilantro, green onions, a little bit of ground white paper, and optional roasted peanuts, Chinese donuts, bean sprouts, and fried shallots or onions.
- Squeeze a little lime juice on top for that tang and enjoy!
