rice. Juk good for digestion because of its soft texture.
The jukese cooking tradition has long been practiced by Koreans, but the
recipes were only written in the Joseon Dynasty (1397-1910). People in Joseon's
times present juk for parents in the morning in palaces and houses of ordinary
people. In winter especially on dongji day (winter solstice), jok cooked with
red beans are believed to repel evil spirits who hate the red color.
