ข้าวแช่-The-nest-3 Khao Chae
Summer means the return of one of Thailand’s little known, but most delicious, dishes – khao chae. Adopted by the Royal Kitchens during the reign of King Rama V, this summer dish is one of the best representatives of Royal Thai cuisine. It is a complex and very difficult dish to make, as there are many elements, each requiring a bewildering number of ingredients and processes, but when it comes together this cool rice in iced jasmine soup with accompaniments is worth the effort of hunting to find and taste.
