    I made jook for my boys when they were little too. Once he gets a bit older you can blend the cooked chicken in a blender so there is actual bits of meat and you can use different vegetables:) Your children are beautiful.

    My recipe for jook are, salmon, sweet potatoes, carrots, couple slices of ginger and broccoli. My granddaughters been eating since they were 10 months old and still eating today and they are 5.5 and 2.5 yrs old. Plain jook is when we are sick. Your children are beautiful❣️

    Ha! We just made congee this morning! Just in case - another tip is to soak the rice over night in water (after washing) to save cooking time in the morning. Cooking time would be 45-60 minutes for a cup of rice. We like to cook it with ginger and top with scallions (and finish with salt). Simple and comforting!

    • @ahms8689
      @ahms8689 4 роки тому

      That's gruel to me. We never had it plain! We always threw stuff into it, firm favourite is chilli radish. But scallions/spring onions is a must! I can't do ginger, it gives me major yit hay. I suffer it in ginger & scallion lobster though 😉

    小小 (siu siu) or 啲啲(di di) or 一啲(jat/yat di) is the advance cantonese version of saying a little bit for example 一啲飯一啲紅蘿蔔一啲雞(a little bit of rice a little bit of carrot a little bit of chicken)
    一啲(jat/yat di), 一點(jat/yat dim), 一些(jat/yat si) are all variations of a little bit
    Here is a youtube link of the word being used
    ua-cam.com/video/K89pDCO-viA/v-deo.html
    P. S my mom likes to cook pork and sweetcorn congee some salt to taste, the pork is cooked so it slides off the bone while the sweetcorn niblets give the congee a slight sweet taste, my favourite congee is definitely pigs blood and century eggs congee topped with finely chopped spring onions served with a side order of fried dough sticks(油炸鬼) or ox tongue pastry(牛脷酥) it tastes like a fried slightly sweet doughnut

    I love eating jook! It’s a Chinese comfort food for me. We grew up eating it and I make it just the way my mom made it for us when we were kids. I also put carrots in my jook, along with chicken or pork and green onions. Your kids are so cute. I hope they will grow up speaking Chinese and not forget it like I did. I love hearing the dialogues as it helps me remember how to speak Cantonese again. Please keep up the videos. I love watching them.

    Awesome content! The interaction with your kids, the food, the retakes section. If I can offer more criticism: This could've been two or three or maybe even 6 or 7 videos and if you can stretch it out more to 5+ minutes each. I know it's a lot, but I think people would watch it. I would!

    Your kids are too cute! How long did it take you to learn Cantonese? I spread mandarin so I can’t gauge how well you speak but you sound like you speak really well.
    I just call it rice soup/porridge in my biracial house and we eat that when I don’t feel like really cooking cause we eat it with all the prepackaged stuff like spicy bamboo shoots, pork floss, kimchi (my favorite Korean side dish (lol), pickled radish, etc.

    Jook is our lazy food. I throw pork ribs in with rice 1 rice cup (the one that comes with the rice cooker) and fill it up with water all in the rice cooker, after it's cooked it sits in the rice cooker on warm of another hour. The meat falls off the bone, aye yah it's delicious! It's super thick, deliberately so, as we add hot water to our bowls and the remainder is another meal for the next day.
    Don't you have a rice cooker? Mum always made jook in the slow cooker growing up, it's too much work making it in a pot!

      @@CantoneseCouple I like the sound of that. Makes me think of the bread maker I was going to buy 3 weeks ago but didn't that evening when my husband wanted to see it first. Then when he gave me the Ok (for me to buy it with my money?!) the next morning it was sold out EVERYWHERE. I don't know if your instant hot pot makes bread since it does so many other things but my din fan bow makes bread!? It has a make cake function (I thought it was a steam function to make Chinese sponge) and my husband made bread pressing that button, which I love! Who doesn't like saving money, as we all know us Chinese have a special appreciation for that. I'm just pleased that my worktop doesn't have this big Ar"e bread maker sitting on top of it now!

    Do English-speaking people generally know the word 'congee'?
    I found that this word is not included in many English dictionaries.
    A friend from abroad once asked me what 'congee' was.
    I told him 'similar to porridge', but they're definitely not the same.

    • @CantoneseCouple

      No I don’t think so. Probably more common would be rice porridge.
