Khao Tom
Khao Tom is a warm and nourishing Thai rice soup that embodies comfort in every spoonful. This delightful dish is perfect for any time of day, whether you need a soothing breakfast or a light dinner. The fragrant jasmine rice simmers in a savory chicken broth, infused with aromatic ginger and garlic, creating a rich base that is further enhanced by tender shredded chicken. Topped with fresh herbs, a squeeze of lime, and a touch of umami from fish and soy sauce, Khao Tom is a culinary hug that warms the soul. This traditional dish has roots in Thai culture, often enjoyed during times of sickness or as a gentle meal for loved ones.
