Chicken Tom Kha

Tom Kha Gai is a cornerstone of Thai cuisine, prized for its rich, enveloping flavor. Unlike the spicy Tom Yum, Tom Kha has a creamy consistency due to the generous use of coconut milk. The key aromatic ingredient is galangal (which gives it a unique citrus-peppery note), complemented by lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves. Tender pieces of chicken fillet are simmered in this fragrant broth. The soup is balanced with salt, a small amount of sugar, and lime juice, creating a mellow yet complex flavor that is both creamy and refreshing. It is generally milder in heat than Tom Yum
