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 - [ Ссылка ]

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 [ Ссылка ]
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!
