About this dish

Juk is a Korean porridge dish that is made by boiling rice or other grains or legumes, such as beans, sesame, nuts, and pumpkin. Juk is often eaten warm, especially as a morning meal, but can also be eaten at any time of the day. Depending on the ingredients and consistency, juk can be considered as food for recuperation, a delicacy, or famine food. It is known to have nutritional benefits, and is considered to be beneficial to digestion because of its soft texture. It is a staple "get well" dish; a dish to eat when one is sick or recovering from bad health. Juk is also considered an ideal food for babies, the ill or elderly, as it is easily eaten and digested. It is also sold commercially by many chain stores in South Korea, and is a common takeout dish.

Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

  1. Peel the kabocha squash and cut it into small pieces, and cut the onion small as well.
  2. Blanch the broccoli in hot water and chop it finely.
  3. Dissolve the glutinous rice flour in 100 g of water.
  4. Boil the kabocha squash and onion in 300 g of water.
  5. When the squash and onion are cooked, blend them in a blender and bring back to a boil, then add the glutinous rice flour mixture and boil.
  6. When the pumpkin porridge comes to a boil, add the grated cheese and finish with the roasted brown rice.
💡 TipTo boost the savory depth of the pumpkin porridge, it is seasoned with mushroom garlic salt and grated cheese. Roasted brown rice reduces the need for sodium and adds nuttiness.
