["Cooking the Jook is a long process that can be done on the stove, or in a crock pot. It can take 1-2 hrs on the stove cooking at medium.", "Measure out all ingredients", "Measure your rice out and place in a deep pot.", "Add your Broth choice to pot along with the Coconut Milk", "Add your Ginger to the pot. I prefer to use minced ginger because I like to eat it. If you don't wish to eat the ginger, leave it whole so it can be removed.", "Bring the pot to a boil, and lower the temperature to a simmer and cover.

The proper consistency of Jook shouldn't be thin like soup, nor should it be thick like Oatmeal. A happy medium would be creamy.", "Coconut Sweet Potatoes", "Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes", "Boil the sweet potatoes, cooking until fork tender. Do not Overcook", "Drain the Sweet Potatoes and leave cool until you can handle them safely.", "In a bowl measure out your Shredded Coconut, Ginger, Garlic Powder, and Cinnamon.", "Add the sweet potatoes to the bowl and mix until evenly and fully coated", "Serving:
