Introduction
A comforting and vibrant Thai coconut soup infused with aromatic herbs, featuring juicy chicken meatballs. This spicy, tangy, and creamy dish is a unique twist on the classic Tom Kha Gai.
Step 1
Prepare the chicken meatballs by adding grated garlic, chopped spring onion, coriander, fish sauce, panko breadcrumbs, a pinch of salt, and a couple of spoonfuls of coconut milk to the chicken mince.
Step 2
Gently mix the meatball ingredients with a fork until just combined, keeping the mixture loose for a softer texture.
Step 3
Pour the remaining coconut milk and water into a pot to establish the soup base.
Step 4
Add thinly sliced galangal, bruised lemongrass, and torn kaffir lime leaves into the pot. Heat gently on medium-low, stirring in one direction, until it is steaming.
Step 5
Prep the straw mushrooms by halving them, and tear the oyster mushrooms into bite-sized pieces, discarding any tough woody stems.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Adding a few spoonfuls of coconut milk to the breadcrumbs in the meatball mixture helps lock in moisture for a incredibly soft texture.
Treat coconut milk gently by heating it on low-medium heat without bringing it to a rapid boil, and stir in only one direction to prevent it from curdling.
Always turn off the heat before adding fresh lime juice; boiling lime juice will ruin its fresh, tangy flavor and make the soup bitter.
