Step 2: Prepare the Thai tea
Place a pot on a high heat and add the tea leaves, condensed milk and sugar. Pour in the boiling water, stir and simmer for 5 minutes (Thai tea is always served very strong and very sweet). Remove from the heat.
Step 3: Cook the pork and rice
Place a separate pot on a high heat. Add the chicken stock and bring to the boil. Add the pork and break it up with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 3 minutes. Add the rice and simmer for a further 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4: Finish making the rice congee and serve
Mix in the fish sauce, ginger, chilli and spring onion, stir well and simmer.
Break an egg into each of the serving dishes. Ladle in the hot soup and garnish with coriander. Leave for 3 minutes before eating to poach the eggs.
Step 5: Serve the brewed tea
By now the tea should have brewed sufficiently, so strain and pour directly into cups.
Step 6: Display the fruit platter
A typical Thai breakfast is almost always accompanied by a delicious selection of colourful fruits, so select those you enjoy and eat after the soup and tea for a healthy and unusual start to the day!
