college style 닭죽
there are times when youre seriously craving some mommy flavor, slaving away at school
trust me. its normal.
idk about you but Im pretty cheap and on a tight budget
so i try to make things work as much as i can

above i have created a really, REALLY simple version of dakkguk or chicken porridge


ingredients are:
8-10 whole garlic cloves
1 cup of rice or pre-made refrigerated leftover rice
4 cups water
*3 ginger tea bags
1 defrosted or fresh chicken breast
salt&pepper

okay, I know you're thinking what!? that much garlic and what!? tea bags?
i know, i know but this porridge is all about the garlic, the more the merrier

and as for the tea bags.... well you are SUPPOSE to use fresh peeled&sliced ginger
 but who has ginger on the reg and who does what theyre suppose to do anyway, we're young time to experiment~
so i experimented using tea bags..... well to be honest mine were lemon and ginger tea bags
but the lemon flavor added an extra zing to it and freshened up the chicken :)

on to the making: total time 30 mins or a tad bit more
the beauty of this recipe and most of my recipes are that they are fool proof, just go with the flow and it will turn out beautifully

so throw the water in to a pot on medium heat

dunk the tea bags in and infuse up to five mins or until they look like they cannot infuse no more

while the water boils peel them cloves

throw those guys in too

for the rice, I have a rice cooker and whenever i make rice i make extra so i can freeze to use later
***if you freeze rice and then microwave it, it will jump right back to life so try it***
but if its raw, throw the rice in and boil until gets soft
make sure to stir every now and then
i threw in my premade frozen rice :)

then on to the hard part, chopping the chicken into small bite size pieces
*i say hard part not to mock our generation for our inability to do anything physical but,
because the chicky is slippery and slimmy and the knife can slip, i swear so please be careful~

throw in the chicken

then let it simmer for 20 mins, the chicken meat will start to separate, thats a GOOD thing

when the rice is super soft and the chicken is mostly separated youre DONE bud, im proud

it wont taste like anything really until you spice it up with salty & peppy should be good now
