Add a small slice of ginger and bring to boil.

Some leftover cooked jasmine rice from the fridge.

Scoop in about three cups worth of rice.

Gently break the rice up, stir and bring back up to boil for a couple of mins.

Add a table spoon of soup stock.

Gently spoon out and discard any froth from the soup.

Finely slice about a table spoon of ginger and spring onion and set aside.

Chop up some leftover roast chicken and add to saucepan.

Reduce to medium heat. Crack and gently add two eggs to the middle of the saucepan.

Gently cover the eggs with soup and rice from the edge to help with the cooking process. Take care not to break the eggs whilst doing so.

Continue to cook on medium heat for about 4-5 mins depending on how soft you like your eggs.

Use medium size bowls for serving - serves about two people.

Spoon in the porridge. Garnish with ginger and spring onion. Dribble a small amount of soy sauce and fried shallots around the bowl. Add a tiny amount of chili garlic oil and pepper to taste.
