In a largish pot heat up the stock or water to a simmer. Add the pork in little tiny bits, like miniature dumplings. Simmer until cooked through.
Add the galangal powder, white pepper and rice. Bring to a simmer again and let simmer for 5-15 minutes, depending on how thick you like your soup (the rice will expand as it simmers.)
Season with salt or fish sauce to taste. You might not need any, depending on how salty your stock was.
Serve in deep bowls. Let the guests add fried garlic, pickled jalapenos, green onions and coriander to their taste.
Love the recipe, taste just like I remember from the stalls in Thailand! But skipped the jalapeno and used fresh ginger instead of powder.
