Tom Kha Gai (Thai Coconut Lemongrass Chicken Soup)

An authentic, incredibly rich, and aromatic Thai coconut soup. It perfectly balances savory, sweet, spicy, and sour notes using traditional ingredients like galangal, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves. Chef's tips: (1) Never cut lemongrass straight across. Slicing it at a diagonal makes it much easier to cut and prevents ruining your knife's edge. (2) Galangal is extremely tough and woody. Slice carefully using a very sharp knife to prevent the blade from slipping. (3) Traditional Thai ingredients like fresh galangal, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves are essential for the authentic taste and can be found at local Asian markets. (4) Ensure you use full-fat coconut milk (not light coconut milk or coconut beverage) to get the classic rich and creamy broth texture.
