Description
This dish is eaten for breakfast in China when the weather is cold
Method
Step 1 of 3
Put the mushrooms in a small bowl and add a cup of boiling water. Let stand about 20 minutes, until softened. Drain, reserving the soaking water. Cut the mushrooms into small pieces using kitchen scissors, discarding the stems.
Step 2 of 3
Heat the oil in a wok over low heat. Add the carrot, ginger, garlic, and crushed peppers and cook gently for 5 minutes. Stir in the rice and pour in the stock. Measure two-thirds of the mushroom water and strain through a fine sieve into the rice mixture.
Step 3 of 3
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, about 40 minutes. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes, or until the rice has broken down to a porridge-like consistency. Stir in the scallions, soy sauce, season with pepper, and sprinkle with the coriander. Serve hot.
