Juk (food)

Juk is a kind of food that is like soup, but even softer! Imagine eating mushy oatmeal, but with lots of different delicious things mixed in. Juk is made by cooking rice together with water or broth for a really long time. This makes the rice very soft and easy to eat. Sometimes juk has vegetables, meat, or even seafood added to it to give it different flavors. Juk is often eaten when someone is feeling sick or needs something that is easy to digest. It's also a popular breakfast food in many Asian countries. So, imagine a really yummy and comforting soup that is super soft and easy to eat - that's what juk is!
