I actually spent a few years in prison and most of my friends inside were in different Asian organized crime syndicates, congee was a regular dish on our menu because the prison food itself was pretty awful, we would have the kitchen just give us some raw ingredients instead of the prepared meals and then we'd buy rice from the prison store. We also had bok choy growing in the garden outside our unit. I have a surprisingly good amount of culinary memories from my time spent there 😂

I spent some time travelling back and forth to Shanghai for business. I went down to the hotel restaurant for my first breakfast, and was surprised to find that the dining room was split, with an "Eastern" side and a "Western" side. I was automatically ushered to the "Western" side, where the menu consisted of bacon, eggs, toast, waffles... what you might expect. On the second day, I surprised the waiter by asking to be seated on the "Eastern" side, where it turned out I was the only Westerner. There was no menu, just a stack of bowls, a large pot of congee, youtiao, and probably thirty different toppings. That was it for me - on subsequent trips I always ate "Eastern" breakfast, and congee remains one of my favorite comfort foods.

In Hawaii the Cantonese Chinese Americans were well-used to calling congee, "Jook". I was surprised to learn that the Koreans use the same word, jook. In California Chinese restaurants, the mainland China waiters had no idea what you were referring to with the word, 'jook'. Often they didn't even understand the word, 'congee'. What this lady cooked up as jook is a very rich ingredients jook. It would be unfamiliar in Hawaii. The mushrooms are a good idea. I should try it. But in Hawaii, the Cantonese would typically not add sugar, salt, sesame oil, chopped bok choy, or mushrooms. The American Chinese refined the traditional Jook recipe by using chicken broth stock instead of plain water. You can use vegetable broth stock but is not as tasty. Mainland U.S. Chinese restaurants experimented with adding slices of Chinese 'Century' eggs, which adds nicely to the taste.

A friend treated me to congee at a local restaurant, and I loved it (fish). Someone also brought a batch to a pot luck for a group I belonged to, and it was delicious (chicken). So I tried making the pot luck version. In an instant pot. The recipe I found called for 1 cup of rice, and I believe 4 cups of broth or water, and cook. It was of course too thick, and the rice was not cooked. So I added more water and stirred. A few minutes later, rice was cooked a little better, but still too thick. So more broth. Also added some flavourings - salt, pepper, sesame oil, and I believe green onions. A few minutes later, rice was still too thick. More water. By the time I had the right consistency, I think I could have fed half of Taiwan. So thank you for a complete demonstration of how to do this, and for the ingredient amounts. I will definitely try this again.

I have been eating Jook for years now. The soup's ability to carry all kinds of flavors textures without getting lost makes it a most flexible dish. I will disagree with Mandy on one aspect however; left over rice is kept for fried rice, so I often use broken grain rice instead. Since I like the flavor of ginger without the texture in soups like Jook, I slice ginger very finely and leave it is slabs, picking it out when serving the rice. One of the reasons I bought a Zojirushi rice cooker was for it's ability to make jook with very little attention, making it a very common breakfast in my lair.

So I made this straight after watching it, and oh my days, it is utterly delicious! Beautiful, amazingly flavourful recipe and so easy and quick to cook. Thank you so much for sharing this and walking us through it 😊 I’ll definitely be making this again and again. In the future I’ll be trying the chicken as shown, however, this time I already had two leftover roast chicken legs, and they were so tasty and lent the flavour to the congee. It is so warming, comforting and makes you feel so cozy. This is perfect for the autumn and winter months or just a wholesome brekky/snack. And you really could use whatever ingredients you have on hand. In this case I had everything but the chicken (from scratch), I also used clear soy sauce which didn’t detract from the beautiful delicate colour of the congee. This is going to be a new staple. Thank you again xx

It’s definitely a staple food in my house whenever anyone is physically under the weather - or even heartsick. I’ve always made it with uncooked long grain rice, so I’m interested in trying your method with leftover rice. Mine is very simple, just a very flavorful stock with bits of tasty vegetables or meat. Everyone has their favorite - mine is mushroom stock with fresh mushrooms and preserved vegetables, while my husband likes clam or shrimp stock, and the kids all prefer chicken. It’s so versatile, warm, and comforting, as you say. Thanks, I’ve got leftover basmati rice in my fridge, so it’s likely a congee night.

Hi Susie. I know exactly what you meant about the after Thanksgiving jook. I did the same thing since it was because I needed the turkey carcass to make the broth.

I make it more often now.
