Tom Kha Gai - Thai Coconut Chicken Soup (Easy Version)
One of my favorite Thai soup, rich in coconut milk, and full of aroma.
Ingredients
- 300 g Chicken
- 100 g Mushroom
- 1 Onion
- 2 Tomato
- 1 Lime
- 150 mL Coconut milk
- 2 tbsp Fish sauce
Thai herbs and spices
- 2 stalks Lemongrass cut it diagonally
- 1 Galangal about the size of a thumb, cut into slices
- 2 Bird Eye Chili
- 3 Kaffir Lime Leaves
- 2 Coriander Roots You can leave some coriander leaves at the end as a garnish
Instructions
- Boil 750mL water in a pot.
- Cut chicken, mushroom, tomato, and onion into cubes.
- When the water starts to boil, add the Thai herb and spices, and let it cook for 5 mins.
- Add the chicken and vegetables to the pot and cook for 5-10 mins, until it starts to boil.
- Make sure the water is not boiling, add the coconut milk, keep stirring gently. (Coconut milk is delicate, handle with care!)
- Add some fish sauce and lime juice. You can taste and adjust by adding more coconut milk/fish sauce/lime based on your liking. Once you reach the taste that you like, you are done, add some coriander on top if you like!
