But if you want to ask me, please get in touch via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or my website (all links are in the description above). If you leave questions in the comments I may not see them due to the large volume of comments I receive across the hundreds of videos on this channel.

I wanted to say I love this short cut. I have made it twice already cuz I having been feeling that great and this is probably the only thing I can eat that goes down easily. My mom use to make this for me when I was sick. She is no longer with us, so I wanted to thank you for this easy to go recipe.
My mom made this and now I make this for kids. No need to blend it in the blender, that's a time killer and an unnecessary dish to wash. Also, for even quicker porridge, use leftover rotisserie chicken, just de-bone.
Mmmm just released a video of jok cooking from scratch. Us cantonese peeps have this joke where if you call your friend and you get a busy signal (on their landline lol this doesn’t apply to modern day) it means they’re making congee - because you have to stand there and stir for hours so you gotta call a friend for company 😅👨🍳 man I feel aged lol... this is a great tip pai, I always wondered why people don’t half blend the porridge in a blender...now I know it works 👌❤️🙌🍚🍚🍚🇨🇦
funkyalfonso I'm having a terrible hangover and as soon as I saw that Pai had a video on it I clicked the link so fast my finger almost broke 😅 It's simmering with the meatballs right this minute!
Congee is literally the only thing I can stomach when I'm really hungover and won't throw up later lol I toss an extra spoonful of ginger while boiling it
Just seeing this comment you are absolutely 💯 on that. My mother in law and wife is Thai. She makes this all the time for me and and my father in law.😁
Yep, the word congee is from the Tamil word kañci. FYI, the Tamil language is spoken in Southern India and Sri Lanka. BTW, "porridge" is from the Old French word potage, which means soup or stew.
I’ve eaten this thing and it’s the deal. I eat it when I’m hungry, I eat it for breakfast and it actually makes me feel way better when I’m feeling sick. What I put in there is pork and eggs and it’s soo good. Now, I’m eating it nearly every day.
Oh wow I'm from Tamilnadu, South India. We call rice porridge as kanji (congee) too !! It is so very common here except with the modern people these days who think that kanji is poor people's food except that it's not ! It's a very very good healthy food !! 😊💕 btw I loveeee ulundhankanji which is very very tasty especially with spicy sour sauce or chutney !! 😍😍😄👒
5 years later, I searched for a quick & easy congee video and Google showed your video that helped me to prepare the needed congee (just the rice & chicken broth) for my 🤧 daughter Thanks! Will explore more of your videos 😊
I love to cook, but this is something I want someone to cook FOR ME! In Thailand, I lived 100m from a great jok/khao mun gai shop. Ate jok most mornings and broke my scales. I had to moderate it a bit. Sticks to the ribs and slips to the hips! Thanks for the great recipe.
I love just to have the plain congee together with choices of side dishes. Salted egg, salted fish, dried anchovies fried with red onions are some of my favourite.
Love this easy สูตรโจ็ก I made it for the first time yesterday and it was fantastic tyty.... I'd love to see one of your clips with Thai script subtitles. I'm such a lazy student...
My mom use to always make this for our family and it's amazing. For the topping I add what you add including cilantro, lime, and fried garlic. The fried garlic makes it so delicious!
Hi Pailin, Congee is from Dravidian (South Indian) root Kanji, ganji which is taken into English during colonial period. People in India call it a poor man's food, which is accompanied with salted pickles, shallot onions, chilies and other condiments like fried dried fish as well and eat in summer.
I make Jook ( this is how my Mom spelled it) with the ginger and I add Chinese parsley , green onion and turkey is the meat I use. I make Turkey broth from the carcass of the Roasted Turkey we make from Thanksgiving or I use fresh Turkey leg and thighs, roast that and then make my broth after I take off some meat! The legs and thighs and broth freezes nicely as I use my Foodsaver to package for the freezer! I can make whenever I want for dinner or lunch when the weather is cold!!! I am really enjoying your videos very much!
Hey Pai! Woks of life teaches a cool tip of freezing your rice and it breaks up nicely so your jok cooks really quickly!!! I looooove jok! Reminds me of my Cantonese grandma!
In viet we call this chao. Theres a local Cantonese Viet place near me that has the best fish congee its especially good with a side of the chinese fried dough.
Thank you!!! I have a pack of century eggs and I LOVE them in jok but I'm short on time. I'm working from home right now and this was fast enough to whip up on my lunch break. 😍
Nice recipe! I always ate during rainy day replaced by beef.. In Northern of Malaysia we also used to call rice porridge as “kanji” same pronunciation as congee! ☺️
Interesting, arroz caldo is rice stock in Portuguese , which is funny because we also have canja which is a chicken broth with rice. Who did it first I ask myself.
Crack a raw egg on top of the Jok, break the yoke and streak the egg through the hot rice and it cooks just enough to form the egg into the most beautiful custardy texture... Almost worth being sick for! 💛
@@venicawood3894 Thai people annunciate differently then they spell so don't contradict people especially when you aren't correcting the spelling in Thai!!! . งงงง+++
In the Philippines, we call it lugaw, but we cook the rice until it becomes tender, like oatmeal. We sauté ginger, garlic, onions, and a meat broth, and of course, we also add boiled eggs and a topping of fried garlic and scallions and add lemon or calamansi. It's delicious with a side dish like tokwa (tofu) and other fried meat.
Awesome! I like to eat this all throughout the day. When I mention it to Thais in a restaurant they say oh no, that's breakfast. Sad. I have been finding it in Vietnamese places. Thanks so much!!!!
Thank you. Your variety of recipe's are so good, and so delicious. I like how you always give the ingredient amounts with your fine recipes, so convenient. You are my favorite cooking host :)
Konjee might be from Indian “kanji” which is rice/millets/maybe grains cooked soft in a soupy consistency - we usually eat it with pickles and sometimes with buttermilk
My first bite of congee was one of the many highlights of my trip to Laos! Just a woman on the sidewalk with a huge metal pot, and a few tables with lime, soy sauce, and chili oil. she put an egg in it too, and I think the protein might have been blood jelly.
Good quick recipe, I make jook too. Usually I add dried scallops & lap cheong to mine... sometimes, and I agree with the comment about century egg...yummy!

What a wonderful recipe! I have enjoyed congee and I am so excited to try this recipe. Most people I know love congee. Did you know that McDonald's in Hong Kong actually serves congee for breakfast, at least, they used to. Thanks for this great recipe!
Im australian and I was curious to know what this congee is.. ive been watching a lot of kungfu movies on netflix and this dish is in a lot of them. This might sound silly but thanks to netflix it has opened my eyes to real Asian foods. There's a great doco called Flavourful Origins and i can appreciate the history, the effort and how the flavours form on a molecular level.
I laughed so hard at kung-fu movies on Netflix! Hence why I also ended up here LMFAO I did eat plenty of rice porridge growing up just looking up recipes. Hilarious nonetheless 🤣
Patongo (beignet type fried dough) translates to Goldfish Tails, is the perfect accompliment to joke. I like fried garlic slivers also as a topping along with some cayenne pepper powder. I also add a raw egg to be cooked with the residual heat so the white is set but the yolk is still soft. I always make a little more rice than I need for a meal so I can have joke for breakfast. I keep a bag with sous vide-cooked meatballs in the freezer.
My lockdown version of your recipe - Didn’t have sesame oil and chicken stock so I added pork powder to the ‘Chok’ and added a bit more soya sauce to the grounded pork. Approved by my Thai friend as well 👍
Finally landed here for trails on Thai cooking .. do u know we have something common here .. I hail from Kerala the southern most state of India .. we have rice porridge here as well which is called Kanji = like Congee.. we don't blend it but we mash it while its cooked so that the rice blends in with the water and trust me in Kerala we do not mix the meat or the seafood along with the porridge but use as a side dish which would eventually move into the pot when ur taste buds starts acting all yum.. btw .. I love the final finish of Ginger and white pepper would definitely try this !! Thanks for the video .. God bless ya !!!
Hi! As a mom and baby no. 2 is coming. I love your quick & easy recipe and also freezing curry video. Please have those more, it will be very helpful. Thanks. By the way, you look amazing. Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy. 😍

Love this
Congee word came from Tamil language.

My mom use to make this for me when I was sick. She is no longer with us, so I wanted to thank you for this easy to go recipe.
I grew up on this in Thailand. Absolutely love Jok. I've been using the Knoor Instant Jok but I think I'm definitely going to upgrade my Jok now haha
My mom made this and now I make this for kids. No need to blend it in the blender, that's a time killer and an unnecessary dish to wash. Also, for even quicker porridge, use leftover rotisserie chicken, just de-bone.
how do you blend the rice?
I don’t know, I find that blending the rice instead of leaving it whole makes the dish smoother, I’ve had both often and I prefer the blended version
@@Whatnuggets agree, I try not blending the rice and I don’t really like.
If you don’t blend it you don’t have jok, you have khao thom 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 if you DONT want jok, follow this advice

I always thought Congee was a little more complicated than this. Nice to know I can try it relatively easily!
what i love with this channel is that pailin is so real when cooking, no pretentions, just real cooking!♥️
A tip from Thai friends. Jok is possibly the finest hangover cure there is in the world. Chock dee.

Yep, the word congee is from the Tamil word kañci. FYI, the Tamil language is spoken in Southern India and Sri Lanka. BTW, "porridge" is from the Old French word potage, which means soup or stew.
Thai after all has origins in Sanskrit.
French originates from a Indo-Iranian language group where Sanskrit has a major influence/composition
Here in kerala it's "Kanji"
Charlie Warlie What do you mean origin? Thai is a Tai language. and in Thai it’s Jok which is derived from Cantonese.
@@what5241were talking about the origin of the word congee... not Jok
Yes it’s Tamil word
I'm big fan of Thai drama. Almost in every series they eat congee everyday so i wanted to make it and I'm here😭💖, btw thank you

I ate this a lot on a vacation to Thailand and really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
I love this. It’s one of my favourite breakfast when I lived in Thailand before going to school. ชอบมากเลย บางทีก็ทำอยู่ ที่บ้าน
We make rice porridge for our kids when they were babies! Perfect for yours too! Congrats!
I just made this and it was delicious! I can't believe it how quick and easy it was to make
You are my genius mind reader! I'm obsessed with Jok lately! Instant classic video
I love just to have the plain congee together with choices of side dishes. Salted egg, salted fish, dried anchovies fried with red onions are some of my favourite.
Thai congee is the best!! Nice and thick the fish sauce, ginger & green onion... try it with fish filets and thousand year egg.. heaven

Chili oil for some kick as well. It's a Thai breakfast of course but we always had it for dinner.

Thank you for that. I did not know. Very interesting.
No, is a chinese food. Thai jok is a chinese influence not indian. Most likely kanji in south India is also a Chinese influence.
Followed your recipe tonight and it was great. A big hit with my family. Thanks
I make Jook ( this is how my Mom spelled it) with the ginger and I add Chinese parsley , green onion and turkey is the meat I use.

Tried this out. Was a hit with my hubby❤ only addition i did was put Worcestershire sauce and oyster sauce (i didnt have fish sauce) in meatballs.

The meat ball part is really smart,
Nice recipe! I always ate during rainy day replaced by beef.. In Northern of Malaysia we also used to call rice porridge as “kanji” same pronunciation as congee! ☺️
Thank you so much~~~ 💕 I been missing my mom lately. She make the best jok.
Really cool tips 👍😊
I made jok with half brown and white. It tastes a bit nutty....so good.
Filipino version is arroz caldo!! Soo good and comforting on cold/rainy days or whenever feeling under the weather!
Interesting, arroz caldo is rice stock in Portuguese , which is funny because we also have canja which is a chicken broth with rice. Who did it first I ask myself.
In Guam we call is arroz caldo aslo I loved eating it in the morning before school
may pinagkaiba ba to sa pospas?
i loved this porridge even i eat everyday.THANKS FOR SHARING ms. Pailin
Very good of you to make this stock video while you are preparing for the coming of the baby. Thank you.
I love jok. With pork or chicken. And an egg on top. Aloy mak mak.
Thanks for posting!
I love it, too! By the way, the proper way to say "It tastes really, really, good" is "Aroy mark". Hope that helps :-)
Crack a raw egg on top of the Jok, break the yoke and streak the egg through the hot rice and it cooks just enough to form the egg into the most beautiful custardy texture... Almost worth being sick for! 💛

In India, savoury rice porridge is called kanji. But it does not contain chicken or other meats. It may sometimes contain a small amount of lentil.
I am not sure if anyone eat like me. I add Bovril to it. So tasty. When we were sick, this is the best food.
Konjee might be from Indian “kanji” which is rice/millets/maybe grains cooked soft in a soupy consistency - we usually eat it with pickles and sometimes with buttermilk
It's a Tamil word.
Yes, it is a Tamil word.
Inugu Tamil teliyum.

Can't wait to try this tomorrow morning. Thank you Pai. ☺
In Indonesia we call it bubur, my favourite breakfast menu 💕 now i crave some but it's 9 pm.

Just tried this recipe and it’s amazing 😋
I have many leftover rice from kfc today. Will make this porridge tomorrow

Thank you.
It is called Kanji in South India where the British loved it and took it to Britain.
And the British started calling it Congee😊
Congee is the anglicized version of Kanji a Tamil word for rice porridge from South India.
Awesome. And the dish is nice as well.
