Directions
-
Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear, then combine with 2 cups of water in a saucepan or rice cooker.
-
Cook rice according to package instructions or until tender and water is absorbed. Keep warm.
-
While rice cooks, remove skin from chicken breasts and cut meat into thin, bite-sized strips.
-
If using chicken bones for stock, simmer them in the remaining 2 cups of water for 30 minutes, then strain and discard bones. If not using bones, use 2 cups of chicken broth or water.
-
Slice soaked mushrooms and cut into thin strips, removing tough stems if necessary.
-
Pour the prepared broth into a large skillet or saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer.
-
Add chicken strips, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, carrots, salt, and MSG to the broth.
-
Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
-
Reduce heat to low. Gently pour beaten eggs into the simmering mixture, stirring lightly with a chopstick or spoon to create ribbons.
-
Add sliced green onions and cook for 1-2 minutes until eggs are just set but still tender.
-
Divide cooked rice among six bowls and ladle the chicken and egg mixture evenly over the top.
