Simpleton’s Jook
1 pound Ground Pork
1/2 inch Ginger, sliced
11 cups Water
1 bunch Chinese Parsley (roots and all)
2 to 3 stalks Green Onion (roots and all)
1 ball Chung Choi (dried salted turnip leaves)
1 cup Raw Rice
1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon Hawaiian Salt
Brown ground pork with crushed ginger for 5 minutes. Add water, parsley, green onions, and chung choi. Bring to a vigorous boil. Wash rice and drizzle sesame oil over rice. This helps to separate rice grains during cooking. Add rice to broth and bring to a vigorous boil again. Add salt and simmer on medium heat for 1 hour. Stir soup occasionally to prevent soup from sticking to the pot. Garnish with minced green onions and Chinese parsley.
