Tom Kha Gai image

Tom kha gai (ต้มข่าไก่) is a very popular Thai dish, and you can find it in Thailand at everywhere from nice restaurant to street food rice and curry stalls. The base of this Thai soup / curry, is coconut milk, so it has a rich and creamy flavor. Though it would often be listed as a soup, in my opinion tom kha gai (ต้มข่าไก่) is more of a curry due to the way in which it's eaten. It's served in a bowl along with plate of rice on the side, and it's usually scooped by spoon by spoon onto the rice and eaten bite by bite. In Thailand, most of the time it's eaten along with a full spread of Thai dishes to make a complete meal of well rounded flavors.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb chicken breasts or 1 lb chicken thigh
3 stalks lemongrass
1 thumb chunk galangal
6 cups coconut milk
1 big white onion (or 2 small white onions)
6 kaffir lime leaves
8 ounces oyster mushrooms (I used 2 big handfuls)
5 -10 Thai red chili peppers
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
4 tablespoons lime juice
1 small bunch cilantro

Steps:

  • Once you have all the ingredients ready, you basically boil them all in coconut milk for about 10 minutes, turn off the heat, add in the cilantro and lime juice, and scoop it into a bowl to consume (ok there are a few other steps to make this, but that's why I made this tom kha gai recipe ต้มข่าไก่ video).
  • Tom kha gai (ต้มข่าไก่) is not meant to be an overly spicy Thai dish, like some can be. Instead, it's a Thai dish that focuses on the flavor of the coconut milk and the fresh ingredients. That being said, the recipe does include some Thai bird chilies, and I would recommend adding anywhere from 5 - 10 depending on how spicy you'd like it. However, that being said, it's supposed to be a mild dish. This recipe is simple to make, it doesn't take too many ingredients, and the flavors are well rounded and tasty. Make tom kha gai for your friends and family and they are sure to love it. Try this recipe out, let me know what you think in the comments below, and thank you for watching.

This recipe was a disaster! The soup was burnt and the chicken was dry. I'm never making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut milk-based soups, but this Tom Kha Gai changed my mind. The coconut milk added a creamy richness to the soup without being overpowering, and the flavors of the other ingredients really shone through.
