Jook

7/14/2009

I'm making jook (aka congee) for breakfast today using David Lebovitz's recipe.  It's not quite ready as I type this, I"m trying to let the falvours get to know one another as Lebovitz suggests in his recipe.

This is a very exciting breakfast option for me.  I like the idea of porridge, jook is essentially a rice porridge, but I'm not a huge fan of sweet things and especially not in the morning.  I've added frozen peas, dried mushrooms and garlic scapes to my jook, just stuff I had on hand.  It's a shame that I didn't go out and get some ginger and dried shrimp but if this goes well then those can be for next weeks batch.

It's a big recipe so in a perfect world I could make this Monday morning and then have it for the rest of the week.

Here's a picture of its process.

It's pretty.  I like the green flecks of the peas and garlic scapes. 

I really hope I've found a solution for breakfast.  I've been eating cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches for the past six months.  Time for a change.

Interesting! How long does it take to cook? Can it freeze?

My batch took about an hour, and it was awesome! I've totally found my new breakfast.

I'm not sure how it freezes, but it's basically just rice and veggies so I'm not too concerned with it going funny the few days it'll be in my fridge.
