Wow, Randy! These dishes were and are comfort food in our home in Philadelphia. We make Chicken jook all the time. Sometimes we make ground pork and 1000 year old duck egg (皮蛋) jook or fish piece jook. We also make bok choy soup and Hong Kong wanton noodle soup frequently. You bring many memories of my parents making these dishes when I was young.

Growing up in a Cantonese family, with a father who was also a Chinese chef but in Australia, we also grew up with Jook and many of the dishes your father has featured on your channel. Your channel brings back many fond memories of my childhood.

My mom would make turkey juk after Thanksgiving by boiling the carcass for the stock and adding pi tan too. My grandmother came from a family of 10. Great grandparents spoke Hakka and emigrated to Honolulu in 1903. My grandmother was born on Honolulu and mom in Hilo. The entire family were great cooks. I wish I spent more time with mom before she passed to learn more. The good news is that there are plenty of cousins who paid more attention to their mothers.

Hello from Hong Kong! On first day of Chinese New Year, my family has abalone and chicken congee with turnip cakes, taro cakes and nin go for lunch. It’s our family tradition. After I grow up, I heard other says congee is for poor people and not supposed to have in CNY. I don’t know. I just love that tradition, congee is definitely my no.1 comfort food. And thanks for sharing the recipe. I love watching uncle Lau. He just sounds like one of my grandpas. ❤️

@samanthachan7167 2 жыл бұрын

I learn from a friend that after rinsing the rice, add a little oil to the rice b4 putting them in the hot boiling water so the rice will break down faster & the congee will come out a lot more smoother in a shorter period of time. 把米洗乾淨後,在放進熱水前,加上油在生米上,那會加速米的溶解,煮出来的粥會更加绵的.

I’m cooking jook tomorrow and wonton noodle soup later in the week. They are my niece’s favourite comfort foods and she is moving back to. Brisbane from Sydney in 10 days time for 12 months to finish her masters degree. Queensland finally opened the borders last month to allow people to return home or to go there for holidays / visit family. Unlike the USA, we couldn’t travel between states due to the pandemic for months on end.
