Thai Rice Soup - {Gao Tom} Recipe - Cooking Index
This excellent "chicken soup" is especially nice for invalids, with its soft, digestible rice -- a barely coddled, protein-rich egg -- tender, ground pork bits -- and appetite-stimulating spices.
Courses: Soup2 cups | 474ml | Chicken stock |
1/2 cup | 31g / 1.1oz | Ground pork |
1/2 cup | 80g / 2.8oz | Cooked rice |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Nam pla or other fish sauce |
2 | Eggs | |
Garnish | ||
2 teaspoons | 10ml | Finely-minced fresh ginger root |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Minced cilantro |
1/4 cup | 15g / 0.5oz | Minced green onions |
In a saucepan, bring the stock to a boil and add the ground pork, stirring to break it up. Stir in the cooked rice and the fish sauce. Cook at a moderate heat for 10 minutes.
When ready to serve, break a whole egg into each individual bowl. Bring the soup to a boil and ladle over the egg yolks. Garnish with ginger, cilantro, and green onions. Let sit for a minute, to let the egg poach, then serve to your sick chicks.
Serve this hot to 2 people to coax their appetites -- or double the recipe for a savory first course for 4 people.
