Steps:
- Wash rice in a bowl:
- Start boiling water. Chop ginger into thin slices, and then into thin strips. Chop a few strands of cilantro and green onion into small pieces.
- Cut the chicken into thin slices and place it in a bowl to marinate.
- Pour the boiled water from earlier into a pot, set on high heat, and wait for the pot to boil before adding our rice. It's important not to add the rice before the pot starts boiling.
- Once the pot is boiling again, we'll partially cover the pot and let it cook at medium heat for 25 minutes.
- Once we've hit 25 minutes, we can either proceed with this step or cook it for longer.
- Set the stove to high heat, and slowly add the chicken over the course of 30 to 60 seconds, stirring constantly as you go. If you add it all at once, it will clump up.
- Almost there! Add the strips of ginger, as well as salt and chicken bouillon. Stir everything around for 20-30 seconds.
- Turn off the heat, and pour the jook into your favorite bowl. Garnish with the green onions and cilantro.
JOOK
I first encountered jook, also known as congee, in Hong Kong at dawn after a very long night. I was steered to an anonymous little place, where, I am quite sure, I was not the only person with a headache. It was there that I discovered that this savory Chinese rice porridge was among the world's best breakfasts, especially after a night of indulgence. It is transcendent stuff. You might think of it as Chinese risotto, though infinitely less pretentious. It is delightfully creamy, forgiving in its preparation and variable beyond belief.

Steps:
- Wash rice, and put it in a stock pot with chicken stock or water. Place over high heat until stock boils, then add about 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, and turn heat to low. Partly cover pot, simmer for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally and adding water as necessary (probably about 2 cups more).
- Add ginger and slab bacon, and simmer for an hour more or so. Jook should have a porridgelike consistency. If it becomes very thick, add water. When done, jook will be soupy and creamy, like loose oatmeal.
- Remove slab bacon, and serve jook in individual bowls. Season with salt or soy sauce, then garnish with minced bacon, scallions and peanuts. Drizzle with sesame oil if desired.
CONGEE (JOOK): ASIAN TURKEY RICE SOUP
This is the ultimate comfort food! It is a breakfast dish in most countries in Asia. I always make it when I have a turkey or chicken carcass. My family loves it!

Steps:
- Break up the carcass into a large soup pot or Dutch oven.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Add the rice (it does not need to be washed first if it is American style).
- (The more rice you use, the thicker the soup will be.) Bring it again to a boil.
- Then turn down the heat and simmer until thickened (at least one hour).
- Remove the bones and scrape off any meat to return it to the pot.
- Add salt, pepper and soy sauce (sparingly) to taste.
- To serve: placed chopped green onions, soy sauce and sesame seed oil (a few drops) into a serving bowl.
- Ladle in the congee (jook) and use your choice of the garnishes to add flavor and color to the dish.
