Soy sauce provides umami without fish allergens, while salt is a basic alternative.

Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear.

Combine rice and water in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is soft and porridge-like, about 30-40 minutes.

In a separate pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat and sauté garlic, ginger, and onion until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add chicken pieces to the pan and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in lemongrass and cook for another 2 minutes to infuse flavor.

Pour the chicken mixture into the rice porridge and stir to combine.

Season with soy sauce, fish sauce, and pepper to taste.

Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to meld flavors.

Serve hot, garnished with green onions, cilantro, lime wedges, and chili if desired.
