Jok is a savory porridge made of broken jasmine rice. It is typically served as a breakfast food in Thailand, but is honestly great any time of the day!
Add broken jasmine rice to a large pot and rinse. Add 6 cups of water and bring to a gentle boil. Once the rice has reached a boil, turn the heat down to medium low.
While the rice is cooking, heat a separate pan over medium high heat. Add a small amount of mild-flavored oil and then cook the ground pork. Add 1 Tablespoon each of fish sauce and soy sauce, stir to incorporate, and remove from heat. Add the cooked pork to the cooking rice.
Stir the rice and assess its consistency. If it is becoming too thick, add additional water. I tend to add at least 4 additional cups of water after 1 hour of cooking (for a total of 10 cups). The longer it cooks, the more water you will need, and the creamier the consistency will be.
Once the rice porridge is as creamy as you like, add the remaining 2 Tablespoons soy sauce and fish sauce. Taste and adjust as needed.
Scoop single servings of jok into bowls and top with sliced green onions and ginger, soft boiled egg, a dash of white pepper powder, deep fried dried shrimp, or any other toppings you like. Enjoy!
