Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked white rice (day-old works best)
- 6 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper (optional)
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced for garnish
- 1 cup Cooked chicken, shredded (optional)
- 1 piece Boiled egg, halved (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, combine the cooked rice and chicken or vegetable broth.
Add the sliced ginger to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until the rice breaks down and the mixture thickens to a porridge-like consistency.
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
If using shredded cooked chicken, stir it into the jook during the last 5 minutes of cooking to warm it through.
Ladle the jook into bowls and top with green onions, halved boiled eggs, or any additional garnishes of your choice.
Serve hot and enjoy this comforting dish!
