One of the greatest Thai breakfast dishes is jok, or Thai rice congee porridge.
The rice porridge is smooth and comforting, normally served with small pork meat balls, and a request of a soft boiled egg dropped inside.
A bowl of jok is garnished with slices of ginger, a drizzle of soy sauce, sometimes vinegar, and a dash of black pepper.

Hey Ben, great to hear that you want to travel in a few years, you can do it! Thanks for the suggestion about the maps. I do try to plot some of them, especially if I write about them as well, but I’ll try to do more of them!

We were in Thailand last month and enjoyed jok for breakfast a lot of days. To be honest, I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I did, but it does just feel right as first meal of the day: full-filling, yet not heavy, and quite balanced. It’s good stuff!!
