One of the tastiest and easiest Thai foods to prepare, tom kha simply requires fresh lemongrass –dried galangal and packaged coconut milk will still produce a decent soup. While technically a soup, it is typically served with rice and eaten like a curry, ladled over the rice and then eaten.
Method
Boil 1 cup of water with galangal, lemon grass, garlic, and tamarind for 2-3 minutes. Add chicken (pre-cut into 2” pieces) to boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes. Add coconut milk and return to boil. Boil for 3 minutes. Add fish sauce (1tbsp), soy sauce, and 2 slices of white onion. Boil for one minute. Remove from heat and serve with rice.
Ingredients
- Dried Galangal Slices 2-3 pcs
- Lemon Grass (fresh) 2 pcs
- Garlic 1 clove
- Tamarind Paste 1 pinch
- Fresh Chilies 3-4
- Fish or Soy Sauce to taste
- Chicken ½ lb
- Coconut milk 13.5 oz can
