Introduction
A rich, creamy, and mildly spicy Thai coconut chicken soup inspired by Tom Kha Gai, adapted with fresh aromatics like ginger, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves to suit a Western palate.
Step 1
Finely chop the shallot, peel and chop the ginger, and slice the red chili, keeping the seeds for heat.
Step 2
Bash the lemongrass stalk with a pestle to release the oils, then chop it finely. Strip the central stems from the kaffir lime leaves and chop them finely.
Step 3
Heat a large pot over medium heat, add the coconut oil, and sauté the chopped shallot until softened.
Step 4
Grate the garlic directly into the pot, then add the chopped ginger, red chili, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves. Sauté together for about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Clean and slice the mushrooms, and dice the tomato.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Bashing the lemongrass stalk is a crucial step to crush the fibers and release the aromatic essential oils.
Using half-thawed chicken breasts makes them much easier to slice thinly and evenly.
Do not let the soup boil rapidly after adding the coconut milk, as high heat can cause the milk to curdle or separate.
