This Korean Pumpkin Porridge is one of my favorite cooked autumn soups. It’s called ‘ho bak jook’, and is made with cooked pumpkin squash, plus rice mochi to give it a thick texture. A few black beans are added in for garnish, and it’s delicious served up with spicy fermented pickles like kimchi for added probiotics. This is a hearty vegan comfort food on a cold day.
This soup is heated up, but it started from fresh, whole, raw pumpkin squash. Mochi needs to be cooked though. I’ll have to figure out a raw food recipe for this dish, but for now, I’m loving it hot! A good way to boost our beta-carotene for winter and immunity boosting.
