Barbara – My mom told me 3 or 4x’s more water than normal. :-)

I haven’t made jook in a pot for awhile now, so I don’t have exact measurements at the moment. But next time I make jook, I’ll cook it in a pot and post the recipe.

I wanted my dad to teach me how to make jook before I left for college, but he told me it was really simple: just put 10x more water in the rice cooker than usual. Unfortunately, he also didn’t give me a rice cooker. Could you possibly post the recipe in which you make it in a pot?

Valerie – I guess most Asian countries would have their own version of rice porridge. I’ve never had cilantro in it before, sounds like a great topping. :-)

I eat this every time I visit Vietnam. It is called chau, in Vietnamese. It had cilantro in it, as well. It was so delicious. Now I can make it for myself. Thank you for this recipe.

I just finished reading a book called Snow Flower And The Secret Fan in which congee is mentioned several times. I had no idea what it was but I’m glad I know now!
