Congee is a rice porridge, also known as Jook (粥). I grew up with it because it is an affordable meal as my family wasn’t rich.

    Thanks for a new jook recipe. I've been making jook for years with the turkey bones left over from Thanksgiving. Also I just purchased your clay pot recommendation. It is beautiful and I can't wait to use it. Thanks for being there

    Today i wasn’t feeling good because my daughter got covid and then i got it from her. Long story short, i woke up started looking at YouTubes and saw this video and because i always have all of these ingredients on hand ,so I unthawed the chicken and then proceeded to make this porridge. I see these rice porridges being made all the time for breakfast, lunch, when someone is under the weather you name it so i made it for the first time. I have to tell you my daughter does not like American style soups and she came to my door to tell me she loved it. It is such a great recipe especially when your not feeling well. Thanks so much!❤️

    I can't eat the rice. in fact there's a lot of things you make that I can't eat. I enjoy watching you teach. you are so thoughtful and articulate. really you are one of the best on you tube. actually no. you are the best. the hot and sour soup I learned to make is restaurant quality thanks to you. ❤

    I make jook throughout the winter. My family used to cook it all day. I now use my pressure cooker and rice bits. I make a lot of turkey jook and most recently roast duck jook.

    I‘ve been thinking about trying to make a congee for quite some time, but I never got around to it. But your video inspired me and because I was not feeling all that well today, I decided to try it. I didn‘t have the chinese cooking wine, so I used regular white wine. And I added too many scallions by mistake. But it was still really good and it really is comfort food!
    Thanks for that recipe and for the tipp with the velveting techique!

    I’ve got a crazy notion to try to modify this for use with razor clams. (I just went clamming, and I have a bunch of them to use.) I will probably add the clams last, to keep them tender. Any comments, or other razor clam recipes, Wendy?
