"High Healing" Jook-Congee Porridge Soup

Of all the foods I’ve ever tasted, this my very favorite, with no competitors even close. It’s what I prepare when I go to the kitchen, look around and find that nothing looks good. It’s what I prepare when my stomach is just a “little off”.

Its’s what I prepare when I want to get back together. When I was in China, every day we would have this for breakfast and even for lunch. It has great recovery powers, spiritually and emotionally, apart from physically.

Nutritionally, this simple rice porridge/soup strengthens the spleen-pancreas and digestive centers, tones the blood, balances “Chi” or “Qi” energy, and cools the body.
