Dakjuk / 닭죽
ENGLISH
Datjuk is a common dish for patients, babies, or just normal people in Korea. When somebody feels sick or gets an operation, they eat porridge since it’s easier to digest. Datjuk brings back your taste when you don’t feel like eating anything.
Main Ingredients:
* 1.5 lb Chicken (⅔ Cup Cooked Chicken)
* 5 Garlic Cloves
* ½ Cup Sweet Rice
* 1¼ tsp Fine Sea Salt
* Some Sesame Oil (Optional)
* Some Chopped Green Onions (to Garnish)
Broth Ingredients:
* 6 Cups Water
* 10 Garlic Cloves
* 10 Black Pepper Corns
Preaparation:
Soak the sticky rice in water for 3 hours. You can use normal Korean rice or Japanese sushi rice, but sticky rice tastes better for porridge.
Boil the chicken for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the broth is reduced to about half (3 cups) on medium high. Add the rice, chicken, and garlic to the broth. Occasionally, stir it, so the rice will not burn to the bottom of the pan.
