  Prepare the Ingredients

  After purchasing, the chicken needs to be washed thoroughly and rubbed with salt to eliminate odors and remove dirt. You can keep the chicken whole or cut it in half for easier placement in the pot.

  Wash the straw mushrooms, soak them in water mixed with a little flour for about 5 minutes to remove dust and earthy smells, then cut them in half or leave them whole depending on the size. If you don’t have flour at home, you can still soak the straw mushrooms in diluted salt water.

  Rinse the rice with 2 – 3 changes of water. Peel and finely chop shallots, and wash and finely chop green onions to sprinkle on the porridge when serving.

  Tip: If you have time, you can toast the rice in a pan until golden and fragrant. This way, the finished porridge will be tastier.

  Sauté straw mushrooms

  Turn on the stove and heat up the pan with a little cooking oil, then add minced shallots to fry until fragrant. Next, add the prepared straw mushrooms and stir-fry over high heat, adding 1/3 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning to enhance the flavor of the mushrooms.

  Stir well for about 2 – 3 minutes until the mushrooms are firm and fragrant. The purpose of sautéing the straw mushrooms is to enhance the flavor and maintain their natural crispness when cooking porridge.

  Cook porridge

  You add the rinsed rice into the rice cooker, arrange the chicken meat and add all the sautéed straw mushrooms into the pot, add a few slices of ginger to remove the smell of the chicken, and season with ingredients like salt, seasoning, fish sauce,… to suit your family’s taste. Pour in about 1 – 1.5 liters of water into the pot, ensuring that the water level is enough to cover the chicken meat.

  Tip: You can also adjust using the measuring scale of the rice cooker. Accordingly, with 1/2 cup of rice, you will pour water up to level 0.5 of the Porridge column for thick porridge or level 1 for thinner porridge.

  You press the Menu button or the arrow button “<“, “>” to select the cooking program Porridge on the screen (Porridge cooking mode), then press Start to begin. On average, the cooking time for porridge using the Tiger rice cooker will be 60 – 70 minutes.

  After the porridge is cooked, the pot will notify you with a beeping sound Bíp Bíp Bíp and automatically switch to the keep warm mode.
