Rice porridge has been my comfort food since I was young. I like all kinds of porridge, whether it’s chicken porridge, or fish porridge, or even just plain porridge. My mom always cooked me this whenever I wasn’t feeling well. And now, for my daughter, I also do the same thing. The Chinese believe that rice porridge is easier to digest when one is not well.

    Directions for the porridge: Bring chicken thighs and water to a boil. Remove the chicken thigh and allow to cool. When chicken thighs are cool enough, shred the meat and remove the bones. Strain and set aside 10 cups of chicken broth.
