Jook (Chinese Rice Porridge)

Ingredients

• •1 cup jasmine rice
• •8 cups chicken broth
• •2 slices fresh ginger
• •1/2 pound chicken breast
• •2 cloves garlic, minced
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• •2 stalks green onions, chopped
• •2 tablespoons crispy fried shallots
• •1 tablespoon soy sauce

Directions

1. 1Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear, then drain well.
2. 2Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot with ginger slices and minced garlic.
3. 3Add rice and diced chicken breast, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. 4Season with salt, white pepper, and soy sauce to taste.

💡 Jook should simmer gently enough for rice to break down without scorching; stir more often only as the porridge becomes thick.
