  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Peel and slice the ginger into thin julienne strips.
  3. In a medium-sized pot, combine the chicken stock, rinsed jasmine rice, and ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
  5. Meanwhile, cut the boneless chicken thighs into small bite-sized pieces.
  6. After 15 minutes, add the chicken pieces to the pot, stirring to combine.
  7. Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the congee reaches your desired consistency. Add more chicken stock if it becomes too thick.
  8. Season the congee with soy sauce, salt, and white pepper to taste.
  9. Chop the spring onion finely and use it as a garnish along with a drizzle of sesame oil if desired.
