Jook, also known as rice porridge, is a traditional dish popular in many Asian cultures, particularly in China, Korea, and Vietnam. It is made by boiling rice in a large amount of water or broth until it breaks down into a creamy, smooth consistency. Jook can be served plain or flavored with various ingredients such as ginger, scallions, or meats. This comforting dish is often enjoyed for breakfast or as a remedy for illness, as it is easy to digest. In Korean cuisine, a similar dish called juk is commonly served, while in Chinese culture, it is often referred to as congee. Jook can be customized with toppings like pickled vegetables, fried shallots, or sesame oil.
