Directions
Thai Galangal Chicken Soup ( Tom Ka Gai), This recipe was given to me by my brother-in-law but origanally from an Australian Women’s Weekly cookbook/magazine The coconut milk tames the spices, making this a smooth and subtle soup You can use chicjen breast if you prefer them to the chicken thigh meat This recipe is gluten-free if you use a purchased or home-made stock that is gf suitable and a gf fish sauce The whole coriander/cilantro is used in this soup- the roots and stem in the soup base and then the leaves before serving, Excellent recipe! use both chicken and shrimp and it is as good, if not better, than my favorite Thai place I am addicted – have made it 3 times in the past 10 days Thank you so much for sharing , Incredible! Just as good as my favorite Thai restaurant If you have an Asian market nearby and can stock up on galangal, kefir leaves, lemongrass, etc , the actual making of the soup is quite easy Amazing flavor!
