TOM KHA KAI - THAI COCONUT/CHICKEN SOUP



Tom Kha Kai - Thai Coconut/Chicken Soup image

When my family visited Thailand a few years ago I fell in love with this soup. This is an adaptation from a recipe in the Amazing Tastes of Thailand booklet put out by the Thailand Tourism Authority.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c chicken broth
2 c coconut milk (can use lite, just don't use coconut cream!)
6 slice galangal (can sub fresh ginger)
2 stalk(s) lemon grass
5 kaffir lime leaves
8 oz chicken breast, sliced thin
3 Tbsp fish sauce
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c lime juice
1 tsp red thai chili paste
1/4 c cilantro, torn
3-5 thai chilis (can use jalapeno or other hot chili instead)

Steps:

  • 1. Cut lower portion of lemon grass into 1 inch lengths and crush. Tear kaffir lime leaves in half. Combine half the coconut milk with the broth, galangal, lemon grass and lime leaves in a large saucepan and heat to boiling.
  • 2. Add the chicken, fish sauce and sugar. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked, then add remaining coconut milk.
  • 3. Heat just to boiling, add chili paste and lime juice, stir until blended. Garnish with cilantro leaves and crushed chili peppers.
  • 4. NOTE: The galangal and lemon grass are for flavoring, not to eat! When I can't get fresh kaffir lime leaves at my local Asian market, I substitute kaffir lime powder. Fresh leaves, lemon grass and galangal can all be successfully frozen. I've also used minced lemon grass in a tube from the produce section. Powdered galangal is available, too. Fresh is better, of course!

COCONUT CHICKEN SOUP



Coconut Chicken Soup image

It is a northern Thai soup called Tom Khai Gai. Much of the flavor comes from the garnish that is added after it is cooked: the fresh lime, chiles, coriander leaves, and the roasted chili curry paste. This soup will have a bite to it no matter what you do, but you can modify the spiciness by changing the peppers and the amount of chili paste that you use.
