- 2 cups light chicken stock
-
1/4 cup ground pork

1/2 cup cooked rice

2 eggs

nam pla (a salty fermented fish sauce) - to taste
In a medium saucepan, bring chicken stock to a rolling boil. Add pork. Let mixture return to a boil, breaking up pork with a fork as it does. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cooked rice. Cover and allow to simmer up to five minutes - stirring occasionally. Add nam pla to taste. Increase heat and bring soup back to boil.
(Warning from Mr Breakfast: This next step isn't recommended from a food safty standpoint. It's the authentic way to make this Thai dish. You may want to play it safe and pre-poach your eggs to assure they are fully cooked.)
Take 2 serving bowls and carefully break a whole egg in each dish. Ladle boiling soup over the eggs.
Add any of the following ingredients according to your tastes: Thai chili, ginger, green onion and/or cilantro.
Cover the bowls and allow soup to stand for two minutes.
Basically a thick and spicy chicken soup over poached eggs, kao tom is a traditional breakfast dish in Thailand.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank chinho for this recipe.

By Zakman - I agree w/ 41 yr old Aussie - I am 54 yr old Serb - What is the issue w non-fully cooked eggs - providing no cracks in shell or fecal matter if farm eggs? And other than provide large choices at awesome prices what is wrong w/ Safeway?

Hey, Ozzie - you have to look at what some of us have done to chickens over the last 20 years. I'll eat my omelettes bacuse anytime, and I love my Steak Tartare, but having seen some the chooks in cages in the Far East, I'd be hard pushed to eat a half-raw egg. And Aussie cage-laid eggs ? Give the chooks a break and do yourself a healthy favour, don't buy them, even when they outnumber normal eggs 20-1. I hate safeway, and the rest ............. grrrrrr
