The Best Rice Porridges to Savor in Los Angeles
"Hangari Kalguksu, a Koreatown stalwart known for its kinetically packed pork bossam and jowl platters and namesake hand-cut noodles, also slings a mean chicken jook (Korean rice porridge). The behemoth bowl is filled with a fall-apart-at-the-spoon half chicken, chopped zucchini, dried ruby-hued dates, and green onion. A swirl of sesame oil and smattering of sesame seeds finish the porridge and give it another layer of complex earthen flavor. This is comfort at its healing peak — and a dish whose leftovers hold well the next day to meet a runny egg for breakfast." - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff
