Chicken Rice Noodle Porridge

I am officially back from my break! I posted about 60 videos during my first year of blogging but I won't be as motivated this time around because blogging doesn't pay my expenses. As well, my boss just put me on a new project so I'll be busy with my full time job.

My cousin noticed that the "Sanoubane" name is missing from my recipe book and website. I took on my father's name and not my mom's Sanoubane name. My cousin wanted me to mention that Kham Teum Sanoubane is my uncle(my mom's brother) who is a popular singer in Vientiane, Laos capital. Also my mom's first cousin is a high Thai Buddhist monk, who is granted an honourable name by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. I'll share more on the "Sanoubane" and the "Larprom" family later.

This Chicken Rice Noodle Porridge is the gourmet version of the Jasmine Rice Porridge and both dishes are called 'khao biek'. Other Asians would call this dish "congee soup".
