Preparation
Marinating the Chicken Satay

Skewering the chicken before cooking helps maintain its shape and ensures even cooking.

Rinse Rice
Rinse the rice thoroughly and drain.
Combine Ingredients
In a pot, combine rice, chicken stock, sliced ginger, and salt.
Cook Porridge
Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Keep an eye on the porridge to prevent burning.
