Jook, also known as congee, is a comforting rice porridge that originates from Chinese cuisine and is widely enjoyed across Asia. Made by simmering rice in water or broth until it breaks down into a creamy, soup-like consistency, it's often enriched with ingredients like chicken, fish, or eggs for added flavor and nutrition. Toppings such as scallions, ginger, sesame oil, or pickled vegetables boost its taste and nutritional profile. Jook is low in fat and easy to digest, making it a popular choice for those with sensitive stomachs or recovering from illness. It offers a good source of energy from carbohydrates while some variations include protein and micronutrients depending on the added ingredients. However, sodium levels can be high in versions seasoned with soy sauce or salted toppings, so it's best to enjoy it in moderation. Perfect as a warm, nourishing meal, jook is versatile and deeply satisfying.
