This is one of the most popular dishes Thais eat for breakfast, but they eat it at other times of the day too. They don’t discriminate, good food is good anytime! But give it a try for breakfast if you want to really be Thai! 😉
Traditionally Thai Rice Soup isn’t served with cabbage, so leave it out if you want, but my Thai Hubby loves it with cabbage, and so do I!
