Thai Sweet Rice Congee Soup
This is a very simple soup using just a few ingredients, and it's a great meal to start the day.
To add flavor you can toss in a chicken bone after the water boils and leave it in for the duration of cooking, but it's not necessary.

Ingredients

Method for Thai Sweet Rice Congee Soup
Rinse the sticky rice a few times then add water, a touch of salt, and set over high heat to bring to a boil.
After the water boils, reduce heat to high simmer, and let cook for 5 minutes or so.
In the meantime, thinly slice a half pound of beef -- prefer sirloin or a medium grade roast beef. Season the sliced beef with black pepper, and a handful of sliced green onions as shown. Let sit for a few minutes then add to your simmering rice.
The longer the rice cooks, the thicker it becomes but we prefer to cook it for about 20 minutes.
Serve with a few slices of fresh yellow onion and fresh cilantro on top. Season with fish sauce and if preferred, a sliced Thai chilli pepper.
Enjoy!
