Ingredients:
300 ml egg whites (approximately 10 egg whites)
300 ml chicken or vegetable broth (preferably homemade or low-sodium)
Shredded chicken (optional, for added protein)
Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Sesame oil (optional, for drizzling)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Broth and Egg Whites:
In a medium saucepan, pour in 300 ml of broth and 300 ml of egg whites.
Set the heat to low to medium.
Cook the Egg Whites:
Stir the mixture gently as it heats up. Continue to stir slowly to prevent the egg whites from clumping.
As the egg whites cook, they will gradually turn white and form a creamy, porridge-like consistency.
Keep stirring until the mixture thickens to your desired texture, similar to traditional congee.
Add Protein (Optional):
You can add shredded chicken or any preferred protein, such as liver or onsen egg, while the egg white porridge is cooking.
Allow the protein to heat through and mix well with the egg whites.
Season and Serve:
Taste the porridge and adjust the seasoning by adding salt and pepper as needed.
Serve the porridge in a bowl and garnish with chopped green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil for extra flavor.
Optional Toppings:
Onsen egg
Shredded pork
Crispy garlic
Chili flakes (for a spicy kick)
