Method

Step 1 of 4

Place chicken in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Flatten half the onions with the side of a knife and add to pan with the wine, ginger, coriander roots and stalks, reserving sprigs to garnish. Slice remaining onion and reserve. Place pan over medium heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat, cover and set aside.

Step 2 of 4

Once cool, remove meat from chicken and shred. Cover and chill. Discard skin and carcass. Strain the cooled stock through a fine sieve lined with paper towel or muslin. Return stock to clean pan. You will need 12 cups of stock.

Step 3 of 4

Rinse rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add clean rice to stock. Bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 40 minutes or until mixture is like porridge.

Step 4 of 4
