"This is a dish of chicken, stewed in seasoned water and served with jasmine rice and a delicious dipping sauce. It is traditionally a breakfast dish. I learned it from a chef who spent a lot of time in Thailand and offered cooking classes at a local culinary school."

We loved this! THE PICKY ONE said the broth should have been seasoned more strongly as she went back for 3rds. I added what little chicken was left to the broth & added the remaining sauce to make soup for lunch. I think next time I'll skip rubing sauces on the chicken & stuffing the ginger & onion inside & just add it all to the water. Made for PAC '07.
