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.
CHINESE CHICKEN AND RICE PORRIDGE (CONGEE)
Also known as jook, congee turns up in Chinese households morning, noon, and night. This thick rendition is made heartier with the addition of chicken.

Steps:
- Bring chicken and water to a boil in a 5-quart heavy pot, skimming froth. Add wine, ginger, scallions, and salt and cook at a bare simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes, or until breast meat is just cooked through. Trasfer 1 breast half with tongs to a bowl and continue to cook stock at a bare simmer, skimming froth as neccessary, 2 hours and 40 minutes. Meanwhile, cool chicken breast long enough to remove skin and bones, returning skin and bones to stock.
- Cool breast meat completely and tear into shreds. Chill shreds, covered, and bring to room temperature before serving.
- Pour stock through a large seive into a large bowl and discard solids. (you should have about 8 cups: if less, add water; if more, cook longer after adding rice.) Return stock to cleaned pot and add rice. Bring to a boil and stir. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered until consistency of oatmeal, about 1 3/4 hours, stirring frequently during last 1/2 hour of cooking. (Congee will continue to thicken as it stands. thin with water if necessary.)
- Season congee with salt. Serve topped with chicken and accompaniments.
RICE PORRIDGE (CONGEE/JOOK/OKAYU) RICE COOKER W/PORK & CORN
I combined a few different recipes into this one, and it turned out delicious. Of course, adjust the water and rice to whatever ration you'd like. 1:10 (rice:water) is a good place to start for medium consistency, but less water will make it thicker and more water will make it thinner. Feel free to add whatever other ingredients sound good or just have it without meat or veggies. You can use chicken/beef/vegetable broth instead of water for a stronger flavor. A search on the internet will help with some other ideas about what to put in it or how to cook it over the stove. I used a 3.5 cup (small) rice cooker, and it was a tight squeeze, but it worked. I found some great information about the ratio and other cooking methods at http://www.homemade-chinese-soups.com/cooking-porridge.html.

Steps:
- Measurements are approximate, adjust as needed. 100 g ground pork is about 1/4 lb. 100 g sweet corn is about 3.5 oz.
- If rice cooker has a porridge/congee/jook/okayu function, you can use that (though you may want to adjust the water for your desired consistency). You can also use a slow cooker/crock pot, but it will take more like 4-5 hours.
- Add water, rice, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce and black pepper to the rice cooker and turn it on (choosing the porridge/congee/jook/okayu function if it has one or just "cook" if not) and stir occasionally to break up the rice. It should take about 45-60 minutes.
- (optional) Brown and crumble the ground pork in a frying pan until done and add the corn, cooking until warm.
- When the rice is ready, mix in the pork and corn (or other ingredients, if any).
- Serve in bowls and top with scallions.
