To start making the Thai Khao Tom recipe, we will first make the broth by heating 4 cups of water with the black rice, lemongrass, onion, ginger and garlic.
Simmer for 25 minutes. This will be the base of your soup.
While you keep your shell eggs boiling, you can check out our hard-boiled egg recipes.
Heat a pan with oil, add onions and sauté until brown, set aside.
Check if the black rice is cooked in the broth, the rice will be a little crispy so don't overcook it. Black rice takes about 30 minutes to cook.
Add soy sauce, scallions, coriander leaves and check for salt.
To garnish, put the broth into a bowl, add the peeled hard-boiled eggs, add caramelized onions, fresh tofu, sprinkle with some coriander leaves and serve.
Serve Thai Khao Tom Recipe as a side dish for breakfast for a healthy start with Thai Grilled Pineapple or a simple thailand songton Salad on the side.
