Soul Food Chicken Yock Recipe (Yock-A-Mein‪)‬ The Soul Food Pod

Something about Southern soul food's slow pace and easy-going nature makes you feel at home. 

 

So when you're hungry, there are some great Southern dishes to try out before settling on a favorite – like Tidewater
Virginia chicken yock!



What you'll learn in this episode:

What kind of food is yock (yok)?

Soul food chicken yock is a meal that's
an ode to my hometown in coastal Virginia. The Tidewater region, area code 757. 



We say two up, two down.



Put two fingers up for V, and two fingers down for Ayy – Virginia -
VA. (Sound effect - Ayyye!)

 

If you Google this yock soul food recipe - Tidewater Virginia yock, followed by Norfolk yock, will be at the top
of the list!

 

What is chicken yock food (yock-a-mein)?

People also ask, "What is chicken
yok?"

 

Chicken yock is a big bowl of comfort.
You may know this dish from its menu names, like New Orleans Old Sober. Or its
Chinese derivatives, yak, yok, yock-a-mein (yaka mein), or simply Chinese
yock. 

 

What ingredients are in soul food chicken yock?

Is yock Chinese food or soul food?

 

Season one of The Wire cut many folks to the white meat (Sound effect - Mmmm!) when it suggested that yock is not Chinese food and most definitely a soul food dish that Black folks created!

 

But I tend to think that yock may be soul food and Chinese food combined. 

 

A soup-like dish traditionally made from boiled chicken, noodles, egg, spices, and broth. Then topped with your
choice of American ketchup, Chinese soy sauce, or Black folks' favorite – hot
sauce!
