Step-by-Step Instructions Of Making Yellow Chicken Porridge

Step	Process
1	Prepare all the ingredients you will need before starting to cook.
2	In a non-stick pot, combine the cooked rice, bay leaves, salt, and enough water. Cook over medium heat until the rice breaks down and becomes porridge. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
3	Prepare the spice paste by blending shallots, garlic, turmeric, ginger, and candlenuts until smooth.
4	Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the spice paste along with bay leaves, kaffir lime leaves, and lemongrass until fragrant and fully cooked.
5	Add the chicken pieces to the pan, season with salt and seasoning powder, then pour in water. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
6	Fry the chicken pieces separately until golden brown. Once fried, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
7	Bring the chicken broth to a boil again. Add sugar, ground black pepper, and adjust seasoning to taste. Finally, add sliced scallions and remove from heat.
8	Serve the rice porridge in bowls, ladle the yellow chicken broth on top or on the side, and garnish with shredded fried chicken, crackers, celery, and fried shallots.
