does anyone have a recipe for this?

it's supposed to be good for colds, and upset stomaches.

i tried looking online, but what i found wasn't very helpful.
so, if anyone knows a step-by-step recipe, i'd really appreciate it...

my mom makes these for me for breakfast. all you have to do is:
1. boil water in a pot
2. put in cooked rice (can be leftover rice)
3. wait until the rice becomes soggy or clearish- like a soup.
4. you can put in vegetables, meat, or anything in it. i like to put in pork, chicken, and sometimes plain

Hope this helps.

my first try last night was a complete failure.
i figured...i might as well cook the egg with the rice...and the egg just...formed into a hard square around the rice and the rice didn't cook at all.

baiscally for PLAIN, baisc, okayu/congee/juk just follow bluenette instructions...add other ingredients AFTER you cook the basic rice+water = - ="

You need to make sure to add A LOT of water in proportion to the rice. If you like it soupy, you're gonna need more water. I usually do about 3-4 cups of water for every one cup of rice, and I keep it on a high rapid boil and add more water and stir it constantly to make sure the rice breaks down into more of a soup/porridge.

Here's a basic recipe for the verison my mom fed me when I was sick (I'm filipina so, its gonna be different from okayu-but its still effective I think. Its not so bland and helps)

1) Take 1-2 cups rice
2) add 6-8 cups water and boil rapidly add rice/ water until you get the consistency desired (you can even replace a cup or two of water with chicken broth if you want in this recipe)
3) During the cooking process add:

-about an inch of diced, peeled fresh ginger
-one clove of minced fresh garlic
-2-3 stalks of chopped green onion
-one diced boneless, skinless chicken breast
-lemon juice to taste
-salt and pepper to taste (I personally like Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning in it)

If you use leftover rice, it will cook quicker and breakdown easier, and the smaller you dice the chicken the quicker the individual pieces will cook.

If you don't eat all of it in one sitting you can put in the fridge and then add a little water and heat it on the stove while stirring it until it gets soupy again.


Hope that helps!

my mom makes chao (the viet version).

First you boil 1/2 lb of chicken breast in 2 cups of water for 30 minutes along with some salt, a little sugar and pepper. Then take out the chicken and add some rice that's been soaking in water and boil that for another 30 minutes. Shred the chicken while it's boiling and then when it's done add the chicken back in along with some onion, green onion, cliantro and shallots. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice. Add a little more salt if it's too bland for you.

It's probably a bit different from the japanese version, but this one is pretty good too.

yay i love porridge!
i recently learned how to make it ^^(THANKS MOM!)

[pucastar]

i don't know how to cook it but i really like eating it Xd

[Manyhx3]

you can use the boil water
or the "water" from the chicken when you cooked the chicken!

[xbaaByette]

The proper way is to actually add a small small spoon of oil onto the non-cooked rice and mix all of it before pouring into the hot water .
It will help the rice expand and break down easier when cooking .
Well this is the Chinese way to cook it .

And for sure, I believe you SHOULD add chicken brouillon , I cannot spell, or chicken powder to it .
I think this is how my mom cooks it .
I think she uses home-made beef broth or chicken broth .

And you should always have that deep-friend bread thing with it .
The best type of congee is the one with oysters or cooked lobsters .
Absolutely delicious .

i just ate this yesterday coz i wasn't feeling too good. its quite okay especially when your sick.

[peachiez89]

ooooo u mean JOOK [korean rice porridge] i actually like jook hehe.

[Antz]

my mum just tells me to put the water to stove, and put the rice in (we use the already cooked ones~) and boil it for about 10 minutes until gooey and all. haha.

[yuna]

it is so dangerously easy to be overcooked O_O
soo I add more water to compensate the burnt rice - -'

Our version is just plain rice.

Usually we just make one serving at a time...one cup of rice to 3 cups of water....cook until rice is boiling, then let simmer for another 10-15 minutes....we usually eat it when we're sick so we don't add anything..

Otherwise, sometimes we add chicken, parsley, etc.
