Jatjuk or pine nut porridge, is a variety of juk (porridge) made by boiling finely ground pine nuts and rice flour in water.[2] [3] It is a mild, nutritious, and easily digestible dish often served to recovering patients and the elderly.[4] [5]
The porridge is made with white rice and pine nuts, which are separately soaked, ground, and sieved. The ground rice is then boiled, with ground pine nuts added a little at a time while simmering.[6] Grinding the ingredients together causes them to separate after boiling. The porridge is seasoned with salt and often garnished with whole or crushed pine nuts.
