What Is Jook?

Jook, also called congee, is a rice porridge simmered slowly to a creamy consistency—a foundation of Chinese therapeutic cooking for millennia. In contrast to the typical cold cereal or pastry breakfast, jook offers a warm, gentle-on-digestion meal that can be customized with herbs, vegetables, and proteins to promote general well-being. Bob Flaws' book delves into how this comforting porridge can serve as a holistic breakfast choice.
