Jatjuk (Korean: 잣죽) 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.[3][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.[6] The porridge is seasoned with salt and often garnished with whole or crushed pine nuts.[6]
