From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jatjuk or jaht jook is a variety of juk (죽), or Korean porridge, made by boiling finely ground pine nuts and rice flour or soaked rice in water. It is seasoned with salt and garnished with pine nuts and sliced jujube. The dish has been regarded as a quality food in Korea because of its rich and creamy taste, nutritiousness and easy digestibility.[1] It is not a staple of the Korean diet, as pine nuts are expensive and not readily available, so jakjuk used to be served as a special treat for breakfast, as a supplement for someone who is ill or elderly, or as a snack.[2]
