K-Recipe 4th Menu

           Hello, K-BAP followers. Are you having great week? If there is somebody sick, you should focus on this post. What do you eat when you are too sick to try ordinary meal? I don’t know about the U.S. culture in that situation. But in Korea, when someone is sick, he or she would try ‘Jook’. As you already expects, ‘Jook’ is the main menu of this post.

           The name of this dish might not sounds familiar to you. For the appearance, ‘Jook’ usually looks like Italian food, risotto. However, it is totally different from risotto. Jook, ‘죽’ in Korean word, is another kind of Bap. Although this menu has longer history than Bap, it has been considered as alternative staple food or diet for patients in Korean culture. Cooking process of Jook is very simple. Boiling soaked rice and 3 times much water of the amount of rice. However, because Jook’s texture should be very soft, it takes much time to cook this dish. The menu that I prepared for the 4th K-Recipe is ‘Chicken Jook’. As you can find from the name of it, chicken is the main ingredient for this. But, the most important point you should keep in mind is the origin of chicken to be used for dish. I’m going to use leftover fried-chicken. If you have leftover fried chicken and rice, try this!
