Ingredients

1 cup jasmine rice
6 cups chicken broth
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Salt to taste
White pepper to taste
Sesame oil for drizzling

Directions

Start by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a big pot, mix the rinsed rice with chicken broth and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Once it’s boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened up nicely.
Next, toss in the shredded chicken, minced ginger, soy sauce, salt, and white pepper.
Give it a good stir and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
Serve it hot, topped with some chopped green onions and a splash of sesame oil for that extra flavor!
