We did it again! We made way too much Thai rice porridge with chicken this morning. So we invite you to come get a free helping of this exotic and savory dish for brunch at 11:00 a.m.
This is the favorite breakfast meal of the Thai people. When Tim lived in Thailand, first as a missionary, and then as an English teacher, he had a steaming bowl of it every morning.
The dish calls for a mixture of white and brown rice boiled and then simmered into a porridge consistency. Chicken is added. Then saffron, garlic, galangal, ginger, some green peas, and a dash of salt and pepper. Each hearty serving is then garnished with salted cucumbers, marinated turtle beans, and a bit of crushed peanuts. Once you taste it, you'll never want cold cereal for breakfast again!
So bring a bowl to our door this morning for a taste of authentic Thai cuisine. When you go to a Thai restaurant you'll never see rice porridge on the menu -- because the staff cooks it and eats it themselves back in the kitchen!
