Ingredients :

• 1 cup of sticky rice
• 1 cup of ground pork (or chicken, shrimp,)
• 50 cl of meat broth
• salt, pepper
• minced garlic
• fresh cilantro

Preparation :

Put the broth in a saucepan with the rice. Bring to a boil.

Add ground pork or other meat (if using seafood, do not cook till the end), stir well to break the meat into small pieces.

Simmer for about 30 minutes until rice starts to become pasty and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Sprinkle chopped garlic and cilantro, then serve.

Tips : If you cook seafood too long, they become dry. The Khao Tom is often taken at breakfast along with an egg and condiments such as chilli and rice vinegar.
