Husband says he's game to try it this weekend. To keep Grav from losing his mind, I'll put a soft boiled egg in my husbands. I have half a roasted chicken, could I just throw the meat in with the broth andrice?

My plan for dinner is a jook. How much ginger and garlic should I put in with the rice? I have very few asian ingredients around the house right now, so I thought I'd use chicken broth, garlic and ginger, and a bit of soy sauce? Then top with scallions, bacon and whats left of my roast chicken. I don't think I have much hot sauce kicking around. Husbands will get an egg.

I know this is supposed to be a throw together recipe BUT IM SO NEW TO THIS DISH.

I fear I would give myself botulism. I have everything except sichuan peppercorns, though, and I can get them close by. There is a huge Asian market here, it's just on the absolute other end of the city. Lazy.

So I did jook, but uhhhh I burnt my crispy garlic, having never done it before. And I didn't realize it was so burnt, and that it was such a pervasive flavor. It was really terrible, but I'm pretty sure it was because of the garlic. I will try again, and just buy the loving crispy garlic.

Yeah it takes a bit to go from raw to brown but then from brown to black it takes like 3 milliseconds.

Learned the hard way. My husband went from "looks good" to "omg noooooo" in the span of about 3 chews into his first bite. He ate frozen burritos for dinner :/

Chinese coworker and I:

Me: I went to the Asian Market Saturday.

Her: Oh really? What did you buy?

Me: Galangal, coconut buns and Lao Gan Ma.

Her: Oh I love lao gan ma, what did you buy it for.

Me: To try in congee.

Her: In congee?? What the hell, gross. How do you even know about lao gan ma.

Me: The internet.

*shrug* she's from Northern China and says congee isn't quite like the pictures I showed her from the thread. My other coworker said it was delicious in congee.

The city I live in is like half immigrants. A somewhat disproportionate amount of whom work in healthcare (with me). And healthcare staff have a lot of potlucks. So I get exposed to a lot of Filipino and eastern euro dishes. It's not the dish that surprised her, but a seemingly obscure condiment I knew the actual name for.

My brain is addled. It's 3am and I took double my normal muscle relaxants and an Advil cold and flu, and I'm still loving awake.
