This simple and nourishing dish features tender rice in a flavorful broth, complemented by your choice of protein and aromatic herbs. Let's dive into this comforting recipe together!

Ingredients:​

• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 6 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
• 200g ground pork or chicken (optional)
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• 2 green onions, chopped
• Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1-2 eggs (optional)
• Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions:​

1. Cook the Rice:
   • Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
   • In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the rice and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the rice is tender and the broth has thickened slightly, about 20-25 minutes.
2. Prepare the Protein (Optional):
   • If using ground pork or chicken, heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
   • Add the ground meat and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
3. Season the Soup:
   • Add the cooked ground meat (if using) to the pot with the rice and broth.
   • Stir in fish sauce, soy sauce, and white pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4. Add Green Onions and Herbs:
   • Stir in the chopped green onions and fresh cilantro.
5. Optional Poached Eggs:
   • If you'd like to add eggs, crack them directly into the soup during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Let them poach gently in the simmering soup until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
6. Serve:
   • Ladle the Khao Tom into serving bowls. Garnish with additional cilantro and green onions. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Serving Suggestion:​

• Enjoy Khao Tom as a hearty breakfast, a soothing lunch, or a light dinner. This versatile and comforting soup is perfect for any occasion and can be easily customized with your favorite proteins and vegetables.
