Thai Rice Soup - {Gao Tom}

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: Soup
Serves: 2 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups 474mlChicken stock
1/2 cup 31g / 1.1ozGround pork
1/2 cup 80g / 2.8ozCooked rice
1 tablespoon 15mlNam pla or other fish sauce
2   Eggs
  Garnish
2 teaspoons 10mlFinely-minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon 15mlMinced cilantro
1/4 cup 15g / 0.5ozMinced green onions

Recipe Instructions

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.
