Congee (Jook): Asian Turkey Rice Soup image

This is the ultimate comfort food! It is a breakfast dish in most countries in Asia. I always make it when I have a turkey or chicken carcass. My family loves it!

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

turkey carcass or chicken carcass (or I have used chicken pieces)
6 cups water or 6 cups chicken broth
1 -1 1/2 cup washed rice (not quick-cooking style)
salt & pepper
soy sauce
sesame seed oil
shiitake mushroom
chopped green onion
chopped bok choy
chung choi (Chinese salted preserved cabbage)
sliced preserved gingerroot
chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Break up the carcass into a large soup pot or Dutch oven.
  • Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add the rice (it does not need to be washed first if it is American style).
  • (The more rice you use, the thicker the soup will be.) Bring it again to a boil.
  • Then turn down the heat and simmer until thickened (at least one hour).
  • Remove the bones and scrape off any meat to return it to the pot.
  • Add salt, pepper and soy sauce (sparingly) to taste.
  • To serve: placed chopped green onions, soy sauce and sesame seed oil (a few drops) into a serving bowl.
  • Ladle in the congee (jook) and use your choice of the garnishes to add flavor and color to the dish.
