Prepare the Chicken
You can buy live chicken to prepare, but to save cooking time, it’s better to buy pre-processed chicken!
To eliminate the unpleasant smell of the chicken thighs, use a little salt to rub directly on the outer surfaces of the chicken, then pluck off any remaining feathers and wash thoroughly with water several times, then place in a basket to drain.
-
Prepare other ingredients
Pick off the wilted and yellowing leaves of the Vietnamese coriander, then wash them thoroughly and let them drain.
Put the bean sprouts into a bowl of diluted saltwater and soak for about 10 minutes, then rinse with water, place in a colander, and let them drain.
Peel the outer skin of the shallots with a knife, wash them thoroughly, and slice them thinly.
Rinse 1 bowl of rice (the rice bowl) with water twice to remove dirt, then soak in water for 15 minutes before cooking.
Finally, for the mung beans, wash them thoroughly with water after purchasing and similarly soak them in water for 15 minutes before cooking the porridge.
-
Boiled Chicken
Place a pot on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and thinly sliced shallots to sauté until fragrant. Then continue to pour 1 liter of water into the pot and bring to a boil to prepare for boiling the chicken.
When the water is boiling, add 2 quartered chicken thighs that have been cleaned and boil for about 20 – 30 minutes. During the boiling process, keep the heat medium and continually use a ladle to remove the foam from the surface, and about every 10 minutes, turn the chicken once to ensure it cooks evenly.
To check if the chicken is cooked, use a chopstick to poke the chicken thigh; if no red juice comes out, it means the chicken is done. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it onto a plate and let it cool!

Chicken porridge with mung beans
After removing the chicken from the boiling pot, you will add the soaked rice and mung beans to the pot. Season with 1 teaspoon of seasoning and 1 tablespoon of salt to taste.
Cook the porridge over medium heat for about 30 minutes, stirring every 5 – 10 minutes to ensure the porridge cooks evenly and does not burn at the bottom of the pot.
You can adjust the consistency of the porridge by adding water and seasoning it again to match your and your family’s taste!
Once the chicken has cooled on the plate, proceed to chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Then, place a little bean sprouts underneath the bowl, add the porridge along with some rice paddy herb and ground pepper on top to finish.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Chicken
- When choosing chicken, observe and select pieces that have bright or light yellow color.
- In addition, you should also choose chicken pieces that feel elastic when pressed, moist, not dry, leaking juice, and not falling apart.
- Avoid choosing chicken that has a foul smell, dark color, bruised skin, blood spots, or skin that is no longer attached to the meat.
How to choose delicious mung beans
- For peeled mung beans, make sure to choose beans that are shiny, bright yellow, and uniform in size and color.
- For unpeeled mung beans, select those that are evenly colored, shiny, and have a natural fragrant smell.
- You can check the freshness of the beans by pressing your finger into a bean; if the bean is crispy, breaks easily but doesn’t create many small fragments, then it is good mung bean.
- Fresh mung beans usually have a light, characteristic aroma. Avoid selecting beans that have a musty smell or any strange odor.
- Avoid choosing beans with black spots, dull colors, or uneven sizes. Especially do not select mung beans that show signs of being eaten by pests or have many black stones.
How to clean chicken properly, without odor
- Method 1: You can use a mixture of alcohol and sliced ginger, crush it and rub it all over the chicken meat. Then wash it thoroughly and let it drain.
- Method 2: You can also add lemon to the water, soak the chicken in it for 15 – 20 minutes. After that, take it out, rinse it with cold water, and let it drain.
- Method 3: Use white alcohol mixed with salt, then rub it all over the chicken and rinse it several times with water to ensure the chicken is really clean!
