It seems, though, that "jook" (rice porridge) has become somewhat of a higher-end viand here in Korea. commodity fetishism as some might refer to, but it really can't beat the kind my grandma makes for me whenever I visit her.

They were very simple--a light and clear broth of chicken and vegetables (cucumbers, or carrots and celery). A perfect way to close up the meal. I like pouring it into my rice and eating it that way. :) Kind of like Japanese お茶ずけ (ochazuke). Super great. When I was young, my mom would make these soups that were meant to be had after dinner.
