Preparation
- Marinate the chicken: in a bowl, mix the chicken with the salt, white pepper and ginger juice until well combined, then set aside.
- Rinse the rice a couple of times in a bowl or pot and drain.
- Add 8 cups of water and bring to the boil over high heat. Once it's boiling, reduce to low and stir once every 8–10 minutes for around 20–25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, add a little more water if you'd like it thinner.
- Add the marinated chicken and leave on low heat for another 10 minutes.
- Stir in the spring onions, sliced ginger and a pinch each of salt and white pepper, and stir for 10 seconds.
- Serve in bowls, topped with coriander if you like.
