Tom Kha Gai - Thai Chicken & Coconut Soup - SPICY STEVE

[zero52one]

wow cooks should never rush cookin..

@zero52one Unfortunately, it's called "time constraint" imposed by the TV station. That's why the Thai Chicken soup stock is prepared in advance and only referenced to. Yes, slower is better. I totally agree.

This is not Tom kha kai ,Tom yum koong and Tom kha kai are totally different .you can not cook Tom kha kai like Tom yum koong.

@thmeesuk Please tell me how they are totally different other than the obvious? Technique and versions can vary and while many recipes use chillies whereas I used a small amount of nam prik pow and I also did not add the thick part of the coconut milk first as some do, I can not see what you are so up in arms about? One soup is hot and sour and the other is coconut based with an emphasis on the galangal; that is the main difference. Other than that, the ingredients are very similar.

I also do not strain it. I love all those chunks and richness right in the bowl. When I was in NS they sell a "chowder kit" in the grocery that has haddock, a bit of lobstar, a scallop or two and such. Cut into smaller bits, then tossed into this soup and it was heaven. The Galangal and Nam prik pow are essential.  Which brand of Nam prik do you recommend ?

[SpicySteveSorko]

@adiero sorry for the late reply. I use Lemon Grass Brand Nam Prik Paw which comes from Thailand in a red covered sachet/plastic bag. I like is as a side condiment or sambal with my fried rice as well.

Awesomeeee... That was really great steve, I want to try it. But I had a similar soup at a Thai resto here in montreal, but it was made with shrimp and the color was a bit different, it was creamier/whiter.

Do I follow the exact same recipe to make the one with the shrimp or are there other ingredients I have to add???

@Tatilove88

check out my Tom Yum Goong (Prawn Hot & Sour Soup) video and recipe on my website. Add coconut milk to taste you will be in taste nirvana. The one you saw that was whiter probably due to more coconut milk and less chilli which colours it orangey red.

is there a better soup on this planet?.....i must say though when i order this soup at my local Thai restaurant it looks milkier and when i made it (twice) the coconut milk curdled...and i did not over boiled it....thank you for your vid i will try again following your recipe .....

[AmazGraz]

Oh, I didn't expect much when I saw the opening, but yea, you got there. Yum, that did look good. Interesting too. Because I have no less than six Thai Cooking books, and I have to figure out from what I have HOW to come up with what I tasted at the local restaurant, basically by choosing bewteen recipes and ultimately coming up with my own. And Youtube is helpful too. But so many different ways..... So cook oN! 8^)
