Filipino Chicken Porridge

This is a thick chicken and rice porridge perfect for warming the bones on a chilly day. My parents always ate it on Christmas Eve in the Philippines. This dish thickens over time, so add a bit more water when reheating.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon canola oil, plus more for frying
One 1-inch piece of ginger root, peeled and finely chopped
1 small onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, smashed, peeled, and minced, divided
1 to 1 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 cup short grain rice
4 cups chicken broth
Green onions, thinly sliced, as garnish
Fried garlic flakes, as garnish
