What Filipinos feed you when you're sick...

I was sick with a nasty cold this weekend and this is what they fed me. It has a filipino name but I can't remember what it is. It crossed my mind that this is the perfect type of meal for a touchy tummy. You should be able to eat this even when you're unstable.
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast, chopped into small pieces
1 tsp oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 clove minced garlic
2 + cups water
about 3 or 4 chicken bouillon cubes
1 cup rice
salt and pepper
soy sauce
lemon juice
Saute the chicken and onion in the oil until cooked. Add ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant - about a minute or two. Add water and bring to a boil. Add rice and bouillon cubes. Cook until the rice is done, about 15 minutes. Add a bit more water if needed. Consistency should be soupy-stewy - a bit on the runny side. Serve in small bowls. Add salt and pepper, and soy sauce and lemon juice to taste (about a sprinkle of each).

Make it without the chicken and substitute the chicken bouillon for vegetable bouillon.

Attempting to stave off the sore throat and headache I've got from turning into something worse, I'm making this right now with some Quorn chicken tenders and veggie bouillion cubes, and no ginger since I'm out and the grocery stores around here all seem to be too 
Smells yummy!

It's unfortunate that you don't have the ginger - it really settles the tummy. Do you have any ground ginger?

Nope, the ground ginger's what I'm out of, and there's was none at Whole Foods or my local grocery store. Puzzling!
Btw, I think this is my new staple when I feel icky! It was sooooooo yummy! Thanks so much, Alicia! Chased it down with some lemon zinger tea and honey, so working on feeling better ASAP!
