In reply to Danny M. I am not sure what cai bap thao is so I don't want to steer you wrong, but it is totally okay for you to make it without. As stated in the recipe the condiments are optional, and I often make it without tang chai and it's totally fine! Tang chai adds salty, crunchy bits, but it's not necessary by any means :)

I'm DYING to make this - it looks soooo good - but when you said the tang chai would be hard to find, you weren't joking. THe local Asian grocers are all trying to sell me Kprean Kim Chi and I know that's not it (though I DO buy it because I love it). The only thing I can find that sounds exactly as you describe is Cai Bap Thao - am I getting warm, is this close enough? I'd appreciate your help!

I love khao tom moo. Just had a bowl for breakfast, seasoned with a bit of vinegar and dried red chilies. So simple to make and can be found anywhere, anytime in Thailand!

This recipe was absolutely delicious! Unfortunately I didn't have cilantro (week of Christmas being too busy to grocery shop) but with green onions, ginger and garlic on hand I was able to follow the recipe almost identically minus the one ingredient. I added some frozen veggies to it that I cooked with the shrimp, some baby corn, edamame, carrot and peppers. Altogether it was a quick and tasty recipe. The broth was delicious and the leftovers the next day were almost better then when cooked fresh.
Definitely something I'll be making again for my husband (he was a huge fan).

A simple and soothing dish. Great for when you are feeling under the weather - although that's not the only time you should make it

In reply to Thorsten. Ginger is common in jok (congee) but not in kao tom.

You are great (don't let it go to your head), I have followed your skill and craft for many a Sangkran. I travel to Thailand just to cook, and love it (just got back from Chiangmai is wonderful, and Bangkok is full of smog. Put me on your cook book list as soon as it is ready to come out and I will have a happy smile.

In reply to Aarin Pongpipat. Thank you! From what you describe it sounds like you're thinking about "jok" or congee, which is a different kind of rice porridge that's usually served with ginger and soft boiled eggs. I have a recipe for that too!

Thank you for this simple recipe! I crave this often. I used to be able to have it shipped to me from Thailand (the instant packets), but for years now the US has stopped allowing it into the country. I don't know why. Question: some ingredients seem to be missing from the way I usually eat it. Perhaps the way I eat it isn't authentic? Anyway, I typically put chili garlic sauce, cilantro, Thai chilies in vinegar, a little sugar, fish sauce, lots of fresh ginger, and a soft-boiled egg. Am I thinking of a different recipe?

Dried chili flakes would be good!

In reply to Adam from HTK. Hi Adam, Thanks for your reply. I'm still not seeing any video. I've tried on PC and Android. I'm using the Brave browser, which is built on Chromium if that helps you at all..

In reply to Lex Starwalker. Hi Lex! Adam here, and glad you liked it! :) I just tried this and the "Jump to video" link works for me and takes me to the imbedded video inside the post - or at least it did this time. This version of the video isn't on YouTube BTW but on AdThrive, so not sure how you ended up on YouTube. I'm going to keep looking into this though, and sorry for the trouble! :) Have a great day!
