1 cup calrose rice (or a premium Japanese-style rice such as Nishiki)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 cups chicken broth or 10 cups turkey broth
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon finely minced cilantro (stems)
1 cup plain soymilk (optional)
For serving
chopped fresh cilantro leaves
minced green onion
oyster sauce
soy sauce
hot pepper sauce, such as sriracha (or Tabasco)

1
Wash the rice in a colander until the water runs clear; soak rice in water to cover for 30 minutes.
2
Heat the oil in a slow cooker set on HIGH.
3
Drain, rinse, and drain the rice one last time.
4
Add the rice to the hot oil and cook, stirring, until the rice is well coated with oil and smells toasty (about 5 minutes).
5
Add in the stock all at once, then the salt and cilantro stems.
6
Stir well, cover, turn cooker temperature to LOW, and cook 8-9 hours or overnight.
7
To finish the jook, stir it well because the liquid and rice may have separated.
8
If you want your jook thicker, turn the cooker on HIGH, cover and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours more, stirring occasionally.
9
The soup will become thick and white; add the soy milk now, if desired, for an ultra-creamy consistency.
10
To serve, set out small bowls of chopped cilantro leaves and minced green onion with a choice of oyster sauce, soy sauce, and hot sauce.
