Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté garlic and ginger 1 minute until fragrant. Add ground meat and cook, breaking it up, until cooked through, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add rice, broth, and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is soft and the soup has a slightly thickened, porridge-like consistency.

  3. 3

    Season with fish sauce and white pepper. The soup should be savory and warming — khao tom is Thailand's comfort food equivalent of chicken noodle soup, eaten for breakfast and when sick.

  4. 4

    Ladle into bowls. Top generously with green onion and cilantro.

  5. 5

    Serve with small condiment dishes of sliced fresh ginger, lime wedges, and chilies soaked in fish sauce for tableside seasoning. Each diner adjusts their bowl to taste.
