???? THE STORY ????
Now retired, my dad has over 50 years of experience as a Chinese chef. Everything he makes is SO GOOD. You won't regret trying this recipe!
Congee / jook was one of my favorite things to eat growing up.
My parents used to make this for breakfast for me and my sister as we got ready for school, and they'd always have a week's worth of congee for us when we got sick.
The word congee was derived from from the Tamil language of Ancient India, kanji. In Cantonese, we call it jūk (which kinda sounds like jook), but there are many, many different variations and names for it across Asia.
Even though congee is commonly known as a rice porridge, it wasn't always the case. With thousands of years of history in China, congee was made with whatever grains were available locally: millet, cornmeal, barley, and etc.
Interestingly, in Chinese tradition, it’s considered a bad omen to eat jook on Chinese New Year.
When I asked my parents about it, my mom explained that in the “old old days, many people didn't enough rice to eat. Using relatively small amounts of rice, they made big pots of congee to make their rice last longer.”
She said that, “the rich ate cooked rice, the poor ate jook.” and that congee is not a high class food.
But, my dad quickly chimed in: “This is not true - if cooked with high-class ingredients, porridge is a high-class meal.”
Historical accounts show that congee was enjoyed across all walks of life, from emperors to everyday people.
It's also an ideal food for babies - my mom started feeding us congee when we turned 1, and it's certainly something that we'll enjoy feeding our newborn son very soon!

Slow Cooker Porridge #shorts
Cold mornings made a bit less cold ❤️
Tips: ⭐️ I use a 1:4 ratio. So 1 cup of oats to 4 cups of liquid. (Weights are see detailed in the blog post if you prefer.) ⭐️ 1 Cup oats is about 2 portions. ⭐️ Regular milk, plant milks and water all work well. ⭐️ I like to add a pinch of salt, I think it makes a big difference. ⭐️ Use jumbo oats. ⭐️ Cook on low. ⭐️ Use a timer plug to cook for 3 hours. (This is what I do! So easy and SO useful.)

What Makes A Perfect Chicken Congee Jook Recipe?
???? BUY MY CLAYPOT - ❤️ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL - ????PRINTABLE RECIPE -
Congee is a rice porridge, also known as Jook (粥). I grew up with it because it is an affordable meal as my family wasn’t rich. As a firstborn, I had to help my parents by taking care of my litter sisters. Jook is what I would feed them when they were little babies. It is so comfortable and easy to digest. Making congee is super easy but if you want to make it perfect, there are some tricks here and there. Let me share my secrets with you.
INGREDIENTS (serves 4)
2.5 cups of Cooked Rice 8-10 cups of unsalted chicken stock 6 shitake mushrooms 2 bok choy Julienne ginger Diced scallion 2 tsps. of salt or to taste 1/2 tbsp of sugar White pepper to taste (Amazon Link - 1 tbsp of sesame oil (Amazon Link -
To marinate the chicken
14 oz of chicken breast 1 tsp of salt 1.5 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine (Amazon Link - 1 egg white 2 tbsps. of cornstarch (Amazon Link - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
INSTRUCTIONS
Bring 8 cups of chicken stock to a boil. Add cooked rice and simmer for 10 minutes. To prevent the congee from overflowing, you can place a pair of chopsticks on the pot and put the lid on top of it.
Slice the chicken breast thinly. Marinade it with salt, Chinese cooking wine, egg white, cornstarch, and garlic powder. Mix this for 5 minutes.
Slice the mushrooms. Chop the baby bok choy. Julienne the ginger. Dice the scallion.
Add the mushroom slices and the ginger shreds to the rice soup. Season with some salt and sugar to taste.
Use a whisk to stir the rice soup for a few minutes to break up the grains. The more you stir, the thicker and creamer your jook will come out. Check the consistency of your jook and decide if you need to add more stock or water. If you do, bring the stock or water to a boil on a separate stove before adding.
Add the marinade chicken to the rice soup. Stir well to make sure they don’t stick together. Turn off the heat as soon as the chicken changes color. Let the rest of the heat to cook the chicken through so you don’t overcook your meat.
Last, add the baby bok choy, white pepper, sesame oil, and diced scallion. You can serve jook with deep-fried donut sticks, pickled vegetables, or fermented tofu.
