Thai rice porridge flavored with ginger, soy sauce and spring onions, then topped with super flavorful pork meatballs.
Thai rice porridge, known as Jok (and pronounced joke) in Thailand, is a breakfast dish that is commonly served with pork or chicken meatballs.
I absolutely fell in love with it when I was in Thailand, and I wanted to make it at home too, so after many experiments I was able to create the perfect rice porridge for me.
This dish is tasty, warming and very comfortable to eat. —TheBellaVita

Directions
-
For the pork meatballs, add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix together.
-
Form into balls (just 1/2 inch in diameter, approximately) and store in the refrigerator.
-
Place the rice in a pot; add enough water to cover the rice. Shake the water in the pot to rinse the rice and drain. Repeat the rinsing process until the rice water is clean, about 6 to 8 times. Add 3 cups of water to the drained rice in the pot with a lid and cook the rice for 12 min.

Meanwhile in another pot, put the broth to heat.
-
When the broth is hot (it should not boil), add the pork meatballs, garlic, ginger and soy sauce. Let the meatballs cook in the broth for about 4 minutes.
-
At this point you can add the rice to the broth with the meatballs and arrange with salt.
-
Let it cook together for about 10 minutes or longer if you prefer a creamier consistency.
