HOW TO COOK JEONBOKJUK (RECIPE) -Jeonbokjuk is a very thick rice porridge from Korea. It is very similar to Jook of China only Jeonbokjuk is way thicker which is more like risotto. There are many rice porridge in Asia that I put in my favorites list and one of them is this Jeonbokjuk porridge. There are many kinds of ingredients used in this dish. From simple carrots to cilantro, green onions to black pepper. Many street food carts and food shops in Korea offer this dish. We know that many street food carts roam in downtown Seol and most of them serve Jeonbokjuk. I would like to share with you this recipe because the winter is coming and one of the best dishes to eat during winter is this food. It can warm you up especially when you ate the hot and spicy version. But what I am going to share with you is the simple yet delicious version. It is not that spicy so everyone would love it even the small kids but if you want a hot and spicy one, there is no problem at all, just add chili powder or freshly ground pepper to the recipe. We are going to add Laver but this is just optional. You can remove it from the ingredients according to your preference. Here is the recipe.
