  • One of my all time favorite Thai dishes, ever. It's salty, sweet, full of umami, spicy, and sour all at the same time. It's a great introduction to the world of Thai food.

      To be honest, if I'm the one cooking, I would strain it too. Maybe not the shallots, but I sure as hell won't be gnawing on lemon grass and galangal. It already gave whatever taste and aroma it had to the soup, why keep it? It's the same with cinnamon sticks and star anises.

    This soup is amazing. I've been making a different version using good quality red curry paste but this blows the other away - I actually made both and did a family taste test. Everyone (4 people) agree this is the better version. Subbed ginger for galangal, lime zest for kaffir lime leaves, and forgot to buy thai basil stalks (though I suspect that would have ended up being as hard to find at the galangal). This has the perfect balance of flavors - sweet, spicy, and simply delish

  • @LiloUkulele
    @LiloUkulele 4 месяца назад

    NO asian markets in my town...for those that can't get lemongrass, lemon zest is a pretty good substitute. Use lemon/lime leaves as a substitute for kaffir lime leaves. Use equal amounts of ginger to substitute for galangal. You can make chili oil with dried arbol chilis and a few spices throw in. Thanks Josh! always love your videos

    Ok - just found your channel. I have been friends with several people from Thailand and here is what I learned about Tom Kha Gai. First, it was pronounced (to me) as T-H-om K-H-a Gai. (Emphasis on the "H"'s) Don't ask me why - that is just how they pronounced it. Second, none of my friends ever took the veges out. The soup always came with the onion, lemon grass, sometimes with ginger, sometimes with the other - the chicken, mushrooms, sometimes bell pepper, lime leaves, sometimes with cilantro, and they used dried and crushed Thai peppers (You could add your own). Usually they rated the dish from one to five for hotness. I only ONCE tried the #5 and spent two hours eating the soup. John (at Thai Jasmine in Houston - now closed - John and his wife retired) offered to change it out but I sat there and ate it. Thai Jasmine also did our wedding rehearsal dinner. I paid for 300 people to come and only about fifty did. We wound up giving away a lot of food and taking home entire pans of Thai Egg Rolls, this soup (had to go buy a container for it) and gobs of Yellow Curry Chicken. Good times. But thanks for posting this recipe. I'm on Social Security - but I'm going to go get everything and make it - but I'll probably leave the veges in as well - for old times sake. :-) Keep doing great work like this! I loved it! :-)

      My all time fave, have half assed it just from attempting to copy what I've taken out from local Thai restaurant with so so results. Attempting to grow as much of the ingredients as I can but ginger, galangal and turmeric don't seem to like my climate, too dry I think. Lemon grass is easy, kafir lime I'm starting, other citrus thrive for me.

    ต้มข่าไก่ จะปรุงรสด้วยเกลือกับน้ำตาลทรายขาว เพราะต้องการให้ตัวน้ำซุปสีขาว ไม่เหม็นคาว และก็ไม่ใส่ใบโหระพ่านะครับ คำแนะนำครับ :)
    Spicy galangal soup in authentic they will seasoning with salt and granulated sugar because they won't change the color of soup out of white color if you add palm sugar / brown sugar and fish sauce or soy then will change color to brown suddenly and that make bad smell. and they won't add basil in this type soup. But your cooking this menu so yummy :) this my recommendation and I love your channel so much. thank you.

To your credit, you do tell people to season it with sugar and fish sauce, which hopefully is meant as a “season to your taste”. Thanks for yet another great recipe. I’ve made a few of them and they turn out great! I love the way you explain things. Super easy to follow and copy.

    Pro tip:
    1. Smash the aromatics with a rolling pin to help release more aroma. Doesn't need to be macerated.
    2. Chicken with skin on, like thighs or wings and drumette release some fats into the soup, making it even richer.
    3. Traditionally parts with bone are chopped with cleaver to expose marrow for extra broth richness but some prefer not to use bones because marrow can cause soup to brown or darken slightly.
