Khao Dom Pla (Rice Soup with Fish)

This is my favorite breakfast. It is easy to prepare, uses up cooked rice from the day before and is light if your stomach cannot handle anything fried in the morning. It is also very good for anyone suffering from a night of drinking. Serve with pickled chile peppers, dry-roasted Thai chile peppers, fish sauce, and fried garlic on the table so guests can season soup to their tastes.
