Jok (โจ๊ก), or the Thai version of rice congee is one of the most popular Thai breakfasts dishes. Take a look at these 13 most popular Thai breakfasts – http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2012/01/thai-breakfast-food-dishes/
When it comes to breakfast in Thailand, it’s not as distinguishable as a Western breakfast. Thai breakfast can often be the same food as a normal dinner or lunch, such as rice and curry. Jok (โจ๊ก), Thai rice soup is one of the common things to eat in the morning, and it’s so good and soothing that it’s almost impossible to no love. I’ll admit though, when I first came to Thailand it wasn’t my favorite thing to eat – I thought it was too plain and not hearty enough. By my opinion definitely changed as I ate Jok (โจ๊ก) a few more times and came to realize that I like the dish very much.
Jok (โจ๊ก) can be found throughout Thailand and in Bangkok you’ll find a Thai street food vendor serving Jok (โจ๊ก) on nearly every street corner throughout the city. I’m not entirely sure of the entire cooking process, but when the street food stalls prepare it, they first take a lump of prepared rice, mix it with water to make it into the correct consistency – as in a porridge – and then heat it over fire until it bubbles. The next process is to add a few minced pork meat balls or often some pieces of pig intestines and liver, and then an optional soft boiled egg into the Jok (โจ๊ก).
When I’m in Bangkok, I particularly like my morning Jok (โจ๊ก) at the small market here http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2013/07/morning-jok-thai-congee-comforting-rice-porridge/
There particularly have some of the best tasting version of the Thai rice congee that I’ve ever had. One of their keys is to cook their rice soup of charcoal, giving the dish a lovely smoky aroma to it. Another thing is that they use high quality pork giving the rice a perfect porky flavor through and through. At this Bangkok street food stall, the majority of customers grab a bag for breakfast takeaway, but there are just a few tables where you can grab a seat if you’re lucky. This day we were able to secure the table and enjoy our Jok (โจ๊ก) while sitting in the market. When you’re looking for a Thai breakfast dish that’s no spicy but rather completely soothing and comforting, this is one of the top options! On top of my rice congee I like to include a little handful of slivered ginger and some green onions to garnish. Finally, I like to add a splash of vinegar and soy sauce to flavor my bowl. Don’t miss this Thai favorite breakfast dish when you’re in Bangkok – you can get it for takeaway or sit down and enjoy!

Hey Mark nice football jersey ..vamos argentina…plz do a review on nepali food once again …cheero
love this meal mark
Mark Wiens, you are eating Cantonese style Congee. The word Jok is actually the name for Congee in Cantonese. Once you have eaten Jok made by Teochew Chinese people, you will never like the Jok made in Thailand again. In my life, I only made Teochew Congee a few times. Teochew made Congee used only Chicken. Cantonese Congee uses Pork bones with meats.
the soupy jok is good too we had it at Koh Larn one of the motel i think
Beautiful :))
Ok Mark, looks awesome ! I am from the southern USA and it reminds me of grits, which I love.
I dont eat red meat, and I am curious if they make it with chicken too ? And how would I say that in Thai ? Jok Guy
Thx !
I think that is white pepper not black pepper. 1:51 It looks white. Most Asian porridges: Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese all usually use white pepper. Black pepper is a possible substitute.
after eating this, and going back home…. i had withdraw… so I learned to make it 🙂 super delicious.

Argentina soccer team ? I am gonna Travel to Bangkok december 15th.Give me your mail box, and I Will send a brazilian soccer t shirt . SEE YA.
ok
in plastic bag???? disgusting..
Looks like the so called "third world" countries eat better, fresh and healthier food than the "First world" countries.
Damn, reminds me of grits which are starchy, bland and flavorless. Is it really that good?
I love this!
ถ่ายเห็นแค่มือคนขายโกรธน่ะ (ฮา)
look very yummy..
Oh my god I miss eating this ??
Sometimes I cry that salmonella exists in my country.
Wow! It was amazing how fast that vendor was able to tie up that bag of congee. The Hmong call this dish "kua dis". It is sometimes cooked in a chicken broth with pieces of chicken, or eaten plain (when one is feeling under the weather). If you like jok, you'd probably enjoy khaopieak – thick rich rice flour noodle soup served with shallots, chili oil, fish sauce, and various herbs and spices.?
I found it cool, that the rice porridge is pronounced almost the same in cantonese.
I like my jok with fish sauce and fried bread called pa thong koh
mark! I love this video! this is my childhood food and it brings back memories of when i lived in phitsanulok 🙂
Where can be the best congee found in Bangkok?
I did not know you are a Argentina football fan. I am also a fan of Argentina football team.
Lol at 2.45 she says your very good looking
