Dakjuk is a traditional chicken porridge originating from South Korea. Although there are many variations, the porridge is usually made with a combination of rice, chicken (shredded and poached or roasted), sesame oil, chicken stock, garlic, scallions, soy sauce, and toasted sesame seeds.

The rice is soaked, drained, and stir-fried in sesame oil before it's covered with chicken stock and simmered for a few minutes. Garlic is added to the pot and the mixture is simmered until the rice breaks down and the porridge becomes thick. Once fully cooked, dakjuk is garnished with shredded chicken, toasted sesame seeds, and scallions, while soy sauce is offered on the side.

These types of porridge (juk) are usually served to babies, the elderly, and sick people. Dakjuk is especially popular on cold winter days.
