- CHAO GA | Vietnamese rice porridge
3 lbs chicken
6 scallion
1 onion
5-6 Ginger slices
11 cups water
1 cup uncooked, washed rice
Diced Carrots- optional
FOR SERVING:
chopped cilantro
Chopped scallion
Fried shallots
Beans sprouts
Garlic chili paste
Lime
1. In a large pot, add your chicken, onion, ginger slices, scallion and water. Bring this to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 1-1.5 hours. (Note: flip chicken half way through cook time)
2. After 1.5 hours, remove your chicken. Allow chicken to cook and then shred or chop. Remove the rest of the ingredients (onion, scallion, ginger slices, etc) out of the pot. The only thing left is just the chicken broth.
3. Measure out 5 cups of chicken broth. Add it into a pot along with 1 cup of washed, uncooked rice. Bring this to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 45-60 mins (note: stir your porridge from time to time so it does not burn and/ or stick to the bottom. And add more broth as needed)
4. After 45 mins, add diced/ shredded chicken and diced carrots. Combine well and cook for another 10 mins or until carrots are cooked. Taste test to see if you need to adjust anything. I adjusted with fish sauce and chicken bouillon. (Note: If you are not adding carrots, then cook until chicken is heated through. It should not take long)
5. Your porridge is not done. Enjoy it with your desired toppings. I like to top my bowl with: cilantro, scallion, fried shallots, bean sprouts, chili, and lime.
6. Bon Appétitties
“It’s ass fell off”
“Chicken wing chicken wing hotdog and baloney”
She always gets me cracking up 😂
You forgot “bone appetitties”
“Bone apple TTs”
Shut up… literally not that funny
I just went thru surgery.
I threw up everything post op.
This recipe is the only thing I've been eating for the past week.
I think it is helping me heal.
Thank you❤
burnt your hand but mouth was fine 😭 this was my fav dish when I was sick too!!! (: my mom always made it as well ❤️ I’m Cambodian but it’s crazy how much Vietnamese food my mom made now that I watch your videos
💯😆
I’m Cambodian as well, a lot of the foods my yey and ming make seems to be Vietnamese. I don’t think Prahok is Vietnamese though 😂
@@kitawolf6179 Lol! Def not that one’s ours 💪🏻
Cause she blew on it
I think a lot of SE Asian dishes are similar but not the exact same, like for us khmer ppl we do babaw chiem chrook (rice porridge with pork blood) and for viet their rice porridge is chao ga. Like how viet will have pho but khmer we have kathew, and I’m sure Thai, Laos etc. do their own rice porridge or noodle soup or dish. So maybe ur mom made something that was also made in vietnam besides in Cambodia! Ik another similar dish we have with viet is like this braised pork belly stew; that has pork belly chunks, eggs, and pig feet/trotters in a braised sweet brown sauce/stew.
I feel like this was meant for me to see today. I have been sick and was about to try to make my mom's Chào ga recipe tonight. Viet food is my comfort food. Love your videos!
I got my chicken and I'm making some too.🙂
Update: It came out delicious ☺️ Just as I remembered my mom's tasting.
I felt like I was also meant to see this 😭😭 I have a project in one of my classes to cook a food that reminds you of your childhood and I decided to do cháo and the fact I see this now
"It's ass fell off." Laughing MY ass off! 😂
We have something similar here in the Philippines called Lugaw we don't add carrots it has chicken or other pork innards, we also add ginger, black pepper, and also fish sauce. Scallion is optional too. I love eating mine with Fried tofu dipped in soy sauce with onions and chili. This is definitely a comfort food. I would try adding carrots next time and see how it tastes. Get well soon AJ and Adam.
seems like all of asia has some form of rice porridge
lugaw is umbrella term for rice porridge, but this one is more similar to arozcaldo (a form of lugaw flavoured with chicken, ginger, and lemongrass)
I don’t think chao ga usually has carrots
I love how all of us have some version of this comfort food that our moms made for us when we were sick (which for me was a lot). My mom made a sweet version with cinnamon, raisins, milk and spices. She’d bring it to me in my room and it was honestly it’s such a nostalgic dish made for me with love. I personally LOVE a chicken and rice porridge. Hope your boys are feeling better soon.
It's so similar to filipino dish called Arozcaldo, also eaten mostly when sick. The only difference is that arozcaldo is flavoured with lemon grass and ginger in addition to onions and scallions at the end as toppings. fish sauce and lime are also traditional condiments for it :D
I love it that you are so real and relatable! I laugh n smile every time I see your videos! 😊
I love your videos! Im Jamaican 🇯🇲but i happen to be sick today and my mom is making me homemade veggie soup (didn’t feel like eating meat today) nothing like a mother’s ❤. Happy belated mother’s day!
She goes “My big ol’ jar of shallots”.
Literally just made them a couple of days ago & more than a quarter of the jar is gone! I’m dead.😂
I love this lady and everything she makes ❤
I woke up today a little sick and i kept thinking about your rice porridge videos for the past two hours, i finally pulled this up and going to finally make some 😮💨👏🏽❤️ I already know this finna be goooood! 🤒
I have those same bibs ❤ you have a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!
The weather is getting colder here in New Zealand so I'm looking forward to making this for the 1st time. Thanks for your recipe ❤
I've done the Korean version of this and it's so comforting. These kinds of dishes freeze really well too so it's great to put aside a double portion for days when cooking isn't going to happen 😅
There’s definitely something going around, it knocked me and mine out last week! This looks so comforting. Get well soon, Adam and AJ!
That’s the super healing chicken and rice. I have been wanting a new version…Thank You So Much ❤
Ugh chao, my fave! Love how clear your broth is!
🥹 My mom made this for me as a kid when I was sick too!! But she just seasoned it with a little salt and black pepper. If I’m being honest, she STILL makes it for me when I’m sick. 🤭 But I love this dish because it’s made with so much love. 🥰
My favorite is to add lots of freshly minced ginger and sliced scallions on top with sesame oil and Sriracha 👌🏼
Omg my mom used to make this for me all the time ! She also adds celery to it. ❤❤❤❤
That soup looks so delicious for any one
Not just ones that may be sick, although chicken siup is always comforting when we do get sick, Thank you
Ill definitely make this 😋
This was my fav growing up when I was sick and my mom and great auntie always made for me and my sibs. I do this now too when I’m sick or my loved ones are sick too!! 🫶🏻❤️
the best part is eating the chicken on the side with fish sauce as a dip :3
Idkw but there’s something about the Vietnamese cuisine that is so comforting to me. Tysm for the recipe gotta try that rn haha
I love too see you cook enjoy your food.
This is like congee, it seems many cultures have similar rice porridge. I am preparing to make this when healing postpartum. It is warming, nutritious and easy to digest. I've learned that women go from normal yin, to very yang and hot during pregnancy, then to exaggerated yin and cold after delivery and should eat very simple and warming foods. No cold food or beverages are recommended the first week postpartum in TCM, we'll see how it goes😅
This is congee.
@@thatplatypusguy is congee usually this thick? When I make it I would say it’s a smidge less “solid” if that makes sense lol
Congratulations and much luck to you momma. Maybe consider Korean seaweed beef soup for postpartum, too, it’s supposed to be very nutritious for recovering moms.
@@mmm555mit varies between cultures and between families.
You love your babies ❤️❤️❤️ also, my kid is sick today! Perfect timing
Yummm! I love mines with extra black pepper, garlic chili oil and lots of cilantro and green onion
This looks amazing.
This made me smile my mom used to make something similar for my when I was sick
Oh that looks yummy! I want some!!!
Looks amazing
oh my goodness, so happy I found you and your crazy self! Totally cracked me up, you hold up the raw chicken and turn to your son and growl and he screams! Yip my Chinese/Hawaiian Dad made the same soup! Hugs and Aloha from Maui!
A big fan sister... ur sense of humour is op😂😂
That looks so good!
This brings back so many memories as a kid. My mom would always make Jook or Chinese Rice Porridge with chicken or pork or dried scallops when I was sick because its easy for the stomach to digest and plain enough you wont throw it back up. On a good day that's not a sick day adding a century egg would be good along with green onions and black pepper. I never liked Jook as a kid but as I've grown older, its a major comfort food for the soul.
Yum that looks so good 😊
Yasss rice porridge or chicken noodle soup is always the best way to go.
Such a great mommy! ❤️
Hope your littles feel better soon 💗
God that looks incredible. And it looks really easy too 🤤
This looks delicious!!!!
I’m totally trying this the next time we get sick! Looks delicious! With the ginger I think is very effective to clear your nose
I top mine with some fried garlic. Game changer!!
I also have too eat it when im sick it taste really good
I love this woman 💕😆
Here are some more words 😁
Oh Yeah Yummi ❗ Getting colder here in OZ ✌️💚😎🌴🌈🌊☀️🌺
Looks like you made a thicker version of congee. ❤ Yummy!!!
Yum! I need that soup right now
Looks good, I’d chuck a chunk of butter in there too
thank you for the recipe
Yo, chao ga is one of my favorite dishes
Awee this dish reminds me of the porridge (aka 죽 - pronounced ‘jook’) that's typically cooked in Korea for those who are sick, recovering, etc. Definitely brings back nice memories of mom's cooking, care and love. 🥲♥️
Also called "jook" in Chinese/Catonese!
Definitely trying at home soon
You don’t know how hard I started vibing when she started singing
You’re one cool ass mom ngl ❤
Adam feeding himself is so cute. 🎉🎉🎉
In the Philippines we call it LUGAW, good whenever someone's sick.
I need this right now
Alternative veggies instead of carrot: onion, small mushroom, scallion, bean sprouts. In Vietnam there isn't a lot of veggies in the chicken congee, there will be a dedicated side salad.
Thai eat this and so do Chinese. I learned as I flew out of lax to Taiwan this was offered in flight and I skipped it. Under the name “congee” when I was in Thailand a girl I knew really had a craving for it so we got some and it’s AMAZING 🥲😂
nice cookin skills
Oh that is interesting. I always thought it was Korean. Because my mom actually taught me the same way. Only difference is that we would leave the rice out soaked in water so it can get enough liquid in then insert the rice.
Holup a sec, what brand is that shirt??!?!? It fits perfectly and looks so comfy and stylish! It is so hard to find good quality basics like that, I want to get one so bad!!
my wife makes chicken porridge or soup when I'm sick. God bless her heart. Love her until I die...wait isn't chicken porridge supposed to heal you?
Came across this somehow and I am sick and am going to try this out tonight wish me luck!
vietnam has some of the best food.
I always eat that. Maybe add a black egg (century egg) its really good. Trust me
absolutely need to eat the giblet! best part!
The “bonapotitties” never gets old ❤
Always keeping it real.❤
Reminds me of arroz caldo, the Filipino equivalent. I would make that when my fam when we're sick.
Yess! Craving some now!
Yung madaming luya at fried bawang yummm
huh. im also filipino, but it reminds me more of lugao
hope the boys get better 🫶🏽
Yummy 😋
Thank you for showing the step by step recipe.
Where does one get the dehydrated fried shallots? I've never seen anything like them before anywhere.
she already made a tutorial how to make the fried shallots, check her vids
Oooh Chào ga, I think to myself. What exotic wonder is this? [By the end of the video]: Oh. It's chicken and rice.
We eat that in Laos too exact same way except carrots
"Chicken and macaroni. Chilling with my homie" 😎🎵
Oh this is pretty common porridge. I thought there would be different ingredients. I am Malaysia hence our porridge then to have more spices while this type of porridge usually for kids.
Love that you called the giblets and not jiblets. 😂😂
As you say
Yumeeeeeee ❤
AHH! its the fact im eating chao while watching this video
We also ear Jau in Bangladesh when we're sick
Wow..easy recipe..will definitely make this (or instruct my minions to make this 🤣 😈) once I go thru chemo. Looks hearty & easy to eat.
Hope u feelin better .
@@iamsherlocked875 hopefully I will soon too.. thank you
I know a Chicago or Florida native when I hear one.
Arroz Caldo 😊
I can smell it from here
THE PAAAAN ITS FROM JULIE AND JULIAAAAA AAAAH
when i was little my parents would also cook a variation of this, except they added other veggies cuz i didn't like (still don't like) carrots lol. it's so nostalgic
I like the beef variant
As a cambodian I can say we do this but not the exact same. We have mushrooms and maybe chillies with it
Omg my mom used to make this for me when i was sick and little and i never liked porridge lol
I’m black but my grandma makes something similar when we’re sick. Had no idea this is what porridge was we just called it chicken and rice soup
I make congee for my kids and friends when they’re sick.
So much faster in an instant pot
Stupid question, but could you use frozen instead of uncooked rice?
Recovering from sinuses and this looks so good.
Thinking of the same but might just use chicken parts instead of a whole one since it’s just me and a roommate.
i dont understand all but if you are asking frozen leftover rice you still can use it but need to keep an eyes to your pot and adjust the ratio of water/broth how you like the your porridge thicker
@@lombardkyle665 thanks
@@Melora84 also you need to smell your frozen rice if it smell too sour so it probably turning bad and it will make porridge being something you might not wanted to eat
youre so cool
