How to Make Jook Chinese Breakfast Rice Soup
- Rinse 1 cup of rice in a fine-mesh colander until the water runs clear.
- Soak the rinsed rice in 4 cups of water for 30 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a slow cooker on high.
- Drain the soaked rice in a colander and rinse once more.
- Add the drained rice to the hot oil in the slow cooker. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted and fragrant.
- Pour in 8 cups of chicken or vegetable stock, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 roughly chopped cilantro stems. Stir well to combine.
- Cover the slow cooker, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 8-9 hours or overnight.
- Once cooked, stir the jook well to ensure the rice and liquid are evenly distributed.
- For thicker jook, increase the slow cooker setting to high, cover, and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours more, stirring occasionally.
- The jook will thicken and turn a creamy white color.
- If desired, stir in 1/2 cup of soy milk for an extra-creamy texture.
- To serve, ladle the jook into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro leaves, minced green onions (to taste), and your choice of oyster sauce, soy sauce, and hot sauce.
