Tom Kha Kai with chicken

Tom Kha Kai with chicken is the kind of dish that takes little effort but still gives you a bowl packed with flavour. Creamy coconut milk forms the base, while lemongrass, lime leaves and galangal add the fresh character associated with Thai cooking. Tender pieces of chicken make the soup filling enough to serve as a meal. Creamy, sour and spicy flavours meet without overpowering one another. Serve it for lunch, as a light dinner or as a starter before putting several Asian dishes on the table.

What is Tom Kha Kai with chicken?

Tom Kha Kai is a Thai coconut soup made with chicken. Tom means to boil, kha refers to galangal and kai means chicken. Galangal looks similar to ginger but has a fresher and slightly peppery flavour. Combined with coconut milk, lemongrass and lime leaves, it creates a fragrant broth with a gentle kick. The chicken cooks in the soup and absorbs the herbs and spices. Heat the Tom Kha Kai gently and avoid boiling it too vigorously. This keeps the chicken tender and gives the coconut milk a smooth texture. Finish with coriander, a wedge of lime or some sliced chilli for extra heat.
