Jook (also pronounced as "Chook" or called Congee) is a rice porridge soup introduced to Hawaii by Chinese immigrants during the plantation era. It"s now a local tradition to make this soup after Thankgiving with the leftover turkey. Other variations exist such as Chicken (GaiJook). Also pork and beef, though turkey is by far the most popular version in Hawaii. I"d say it"s like the asian version of Chicken Noodle Soup. Served either as an appetizer, main dish or late night "snack", it"s the perfect dish to sooth the soul on a cool Hawaiian winter night.
