How to cook Chicken porridge (congee) by Breville

Breville Risotto Plus is a very good slow cooker, you can use it even for Asian dish such as porridge. Korean friend told me how to cook this dish simply and deliciously.

1. Ingredients: for 3 people
- A whole cornish hen (I prefer to buy organic cornish hen in Wholefood, about $12 per one)
- 1 cup of rice (less or more is up to you, depends on the thickness of congee)
- Date: 6
- Green onion: 1
- Garlic (optional): 3 gloves
- Gingseng (fresh/dry): 1 (optional)
- Chesnut: 5 (optional)
- Black pepper, salt
- Organic cotton twine (for cooking, I bought in from Mother's market)
- And a slow cooker: Breville Risotto Plus

2. Method:
-Wash and soak the rice in cold water for 1 hour. If you don't have time, just wash it.
- Clean the chicken, trim out the fat (I prefer that)
- Stuff rice into the chicken (don't make it too full), tie up with the cotton twine

- Put the chicken in the center of the bowl, add the remain rice around it (if you have some)

- Put other ingredients but the green onion into the bowl, then pour water cover the chicken

- Use Saute setting, till it broils for 10 mins (be careful, open the lid if it has too much bubbles), stir well the bottom (make sure no rice sticking there) then change to fast slow cook.

- After 2 hours, add some green onion, your soup is ready!
