Jook

"I found this in the newspaper. variations: For Jook with vegetables, omit bacon in second step. Soak 4 or 5 dried Shiitake mashrooms in hot water until softened, remove stems and chop. Add them to mix, with ginger and two carrots, peeled and finely diced, and a pinch od salt.When almost jook is done, stir in 1 cup fresh or frozen peas, and cook about 10 minutes."

  1. At first this was not clear there were 8 cups liquid. It takes 8-10 cups water/brother to 1 cups of rice. I cooked it overnight in a crock pot. A little stuck to the sides by morning. When I got back from SE Asia I craved this all the time. There would be an array of veggies, sauces and protiens to add to it. I added oyster sauce to the green onions, and bacon on top.
     
  2. I have made this using 2 cubes of Maggi Vegetable stock with onion instead of chicken broth. Also, I omit the bacon as I am a vegetarian. I use all the veggies you have mentioned in the preamble to this recipe. I cook this as a rice than as a soup dish. Its tasty and good.
