- 3 slicesfresh ginger
- 2 tbspsoy sauce
- 1 tspsesame oil
- 3 stalksgreen onions

- Rinse jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps create a smoother porridge.
- In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, chicken broth, chicken thighs, and sliced fresh ginger. Bring to a boil over high heat.
