Preparation method:

1. Cooking rice:

1. Wash the rice and boil it in 5 cups of water until it becomes soft (it will be a bit thick like khichdi).

2. Cooking the meat:

1. Heat a little oil in a pan and add the chopped garlic, ginger and onion.

2. Add the meat (minced or shrimp) and fry with salt, soy sauce, fish sauce and pepper powder.

3. When the meat is well cooked, mix it with the boiled rice.

3. Serving:

Serve the Thai kisuri in a hot bowl.

Sprinkle green onions, coriander leaves, fried garlic and lemon juice on top.

You can serve with boiled eggs or chili flakes if you want.

Bonus tips:

You can use shrimp instead of minced chicken or beef.

Use chicken stock for more flavor.

It is ideal as a breakfast or light meal as it is healthy and easy to digest.
