Stock For Cooking Thai Rice

Vegetarians in thailand generally flavour the rice by cooking it in nam sup ~ vegetable stock - rather than plain water.
This imparts a richer flavour.
Method: bring to a rolling boil and boil for ten minutes, then reduce to a simmer and simmer for 50 minutes.
Strain through a fine seive or chinoise, then keep refridgerated in a well stoppered bottle.
Will keep refridgerated for 2-3 days or can be frozen and kept indefinately.
Variation: if you are not a vegetarian you can add a cup of chicken bones to the mix.
The resultant stock gives an excellent flavour to the rice, especially when accompanying simple chicken dishes like khao man kai chicken and rice - a staple hawker food in thailand.
