Add the sliced ginger to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until the rice breaks down and the mixture thickens to a porridge-like consistency.
Step 4
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 5
If using shredded cooked chicken, stir it into the jook during the last 5 minutes of cooking to warm it through.
