## Tips

- The longer you boil the rice, the thicker your soup will be.
- If using water only, increase the amount of chicken bouillon powder.
- If you prefer a thicker porridge, continue cooking until you get the consistency you’re looking for, but keep in mind that it will thicken as it sits as well.
- Optional: Remove the ginger pieces and thinly slice and add to nuoc Cham as a dipping sauce.
