Which legume that could approximate the texture of congee?

Maybe mung bean doctored up with some tapioca? Any particular reason to replace rice in something that's 100% rice?

is an oatmeal a congee?

edit:
pretty sure legume congee implies that chili with beans is actually a congee curry

I'm after something a little more filling without losing the texture. Bean porridge would be more accurate than juk.

Red lentils until they just start to lose structure? Cook whatever lentils 50/50 with the rice?

I'm late but I'm getting in on this after recommendation from the general thread.

Any recommendations for someone new to cooking? I'm also working on breaking down a whole chicken this week.

Nothing nearly as fancy as what some of you guys made, but I just had oral surgery and made some okayu in my rice cooker.

I used a mushroom broth and threw the dried mushrooms I used into the rice with some ginger and cooked it all together. Added a soft boiled egg, some green onions, soy sauce, and shichimi togarashi and it's not so bad.

My parents gave me some frozen pathongko/youtiao/Chinese crullers when I stopped by so I decided to make jook to eat it with. I ended up making too much and have been having it for breakfast and dinner for the past two days. I think I'm coming down with something though, so at least I have an excuse for non-stop jook.

It didn't come out very thick when I put it in the rice cooker on porridge, so I found taking an immersion blender to it does the trick.

Now get a bundle of fresh chives and leave them in the window in a jar of water. Eat off the same bundle for a longass time as the shoots geow back after trimming. See if you can create a perpetual jooking kitchen. :getin:

A friend of mine turned me on to this thread yesterday so I made some tonight... Never had it before, it's freaking delicious.



Base was white rice, chicken broth, ginger, 1tsp tamari, 1/2tsp sesame oil and shredded chicken thighs.

Topped with fried shallots/garlic, green onion, fried egg, carrot, chili garlic sauce and hoisin.

Will definitely be making it again.

This thread is fancy as gently caress. In my house we stick to pretty simple recipes - either plain with some toppings (fermented bean curd, preserved vegetables or my favorite - fried dace with black beans), or with ground pork and sometimes century egg (plus ginger and green onions and seasoning).

Yeah eating it plain with fried dace and beans is the poo poo.

Thank you for bumping this thread. I've been sad and not really eating the past few days. Then I remembered jook existed and I have turkey eggs to eat. So I had jook with a poached turk egg, whole cracked szechuan peppers (boiled with the rice, delicious) crispy green onion and bacon, tiger sauce, sesame and chili oil. It feels like a tummy hug.

I have a hacking cough, very unhappy stomach, and everything is sore. Gonna crank out a pot of jook before bed to get my porridge on in the morning with some of the Boston butt that is going in the crock pot at the same time.

Was too sick to cook last night. Have a cup of jasmine in the pot right now with fish sauce, chunks of ginger, pint of duck stock, and quart of water.

Going to call out of work, eat jook, play Black Flag, try to get a couple jars of honey preserved lemons put up, and a jar of salt preserved lemon. Or just will myself into a coma until this bullshit lung ick passes.

Hadn't heard of dace, so in steps the always helpful wikipedia entry: "Fried dace with salted black beans is a canned food available around the world wherever there are Asians[citation needed]."

My last jook had a few fried eggs and a pile of sweet chili sauce.

Felt inspired from this thread and it smells really good in here now. Pulled a smoked pork butt portion out of my freezer and gonna toss that in near the end and garnish with some scallions.

Holy poo poo is this good.

I made a pot of pulled pork myself earlier this week to go with Jook. When I'm ready to eat I take a scoop, chop it real thin and then crisp it in a hot pan for a couple minutes.

I've got to get under a blanket to be comfortable which means it's rice porridge weather!



I deboned a split chicken breast earlier in the week to make schnitzel so used the bones to make broth and poached the tenderloins for a topping along with a crispy fried egg, angry lady, chili oil, and green onions. Seasoned with plenty of fish sauce, pepper, and ginger. Some pickled radish on the side.

Let's go see what kind of trouble we can get into.
I jooked this week! Made some stock from leftover hotwings bones, added some shredded chicken, sambal oelek and green onions. I wanted to put a soft boiled egg in there too, but I ran out of time.

Not nearly as exciting or pretty as some of the amazing bowls already posted, but it is drat delicious and that's what counts.

Winter is coming... and it is a tad late judging from the weather here

But I still made congee for some friends last week:



Thursday:

Friend duck breast, soft-boiled egg, fried eggplant, sliced carrot, green onions, fried mushrooms, angry lady, and chinese mystery shrimp (a friend brought these from China, I can't reads the labels, but it tasted like shrimp in tomato sauce).

Saturday (because you always make too much congee and have leftover ingredients):

Teriyaki chicken breast, fried egg, fried egg plant, fried mushrooms, sliced carrots, green onion, more mystery shrimp (different coloured label, different symbols, tasted the same).

Not pictured: Mystery chinese pork roast. Originally this was supposed to go in there but I simply did not know how to prepare it (it seems to be some cooked style "roast" is a ll greyish and stuff.
If I poison my guests with mystery meat, I at least want to know what I am doing :downsrim:

Some jerk gave me a wicked sore throat, so now I've got a pot of rice and ginger on the oven and just added in some old frozen chicken bits I had lying around. :getin:

Edit:


Base of 6:1 rice, old chicken leftovers, a loving huge knob of ginger and minced ginger added in near the end.
Black bean sauce, soft boiled egg, lightly fried shallot, angry lady, sesame oil on top. Not bad for a fridge emptier.

I jook'd last week so I didn't have to deal with making lunch for awhile while I had a friend visiting, was great. It was great, until I brought some jook in and decided to buy some of the pork from our cafeteria and throw it in there. Then it turned amazing.

I don't know why I never put meat in my jook before, but that blew my drat mind. Time to do pork belly with every jook I ever create!

It matters, but you can use either, it just depends on the result you want.
