method

  1. Bring the chicken bone broth to a gentle simmer with the minced garlic and ginger.
  2. Stir in the cold leftover rice and simmer 10–15 minutes, until it softens into a loose porridge.
  3. Season with white pepper and a little salt (a rich broth needs no fish sauce).
  4. Poach or soft-boil the eggs.
  5. Ladle the porridge into bowls; top with an egg, green onion, cilantro, and toasted pumpkin seeds, and finish with a drizzle of sesame oil.

the swaps that make it work

1 cup jasmine rice
→ ¾ cup jasmine rice + ¼ cup wild rice
Wild rice adds 3× the fiber and boosts magnesium for bone density and cooling during hot flashes, while keeping the porridge's familiar creamy texture.

2 tbsp vegetable oil
→ 1 tbsp sesame oil
Sesame oil is richer in unsaturated fat and cuts sodium intake while keeping the porridge silky; the nuttier flavor needs less total oil.
heart health
2 tbsp crispy fried shallots
→ 2 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds pack magnesium (calming for night sweats), zinc (immune + bone), and iron, replacing the empty calories of fried shallots with genuine nutritional density.

no fresh ginger in original
→ 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
Ginger is anti-inflammatory and a traditional cooling herb in Asian medicine; it also improves circulation and may reduce hot flash intensity.
