More Thailand recipe please....thank you

[@charlii_the_angel]

Hi seonkyoung! I have been looking everywhere for the music you use in your pinterest videos,can you PLEASE tell me where I can find them? Or If someone else knows can you let me know? Thank you!

[@AlfredoMartinezEsquivel]

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipes. My wife who is Thai said the recipe is very authentic but she mentioned they don't use tomatoes. Not sure if this version is from another part of Thailand. Anyhow, this soup is so delicious . Cheers!

[@ew7564]

I made this today! It was sooo good!!! Thank you for the recipe!!!

[@Missuskeefe]

I live out in the middle of no-where in northern Canada and I used to live in Ottawa. There was a Thai restaurant that I used to go to at least once a week for this soup. It has been at least 15 years since I have had this soup and I miss it all of the time. I wouldn't even be able to get most of the ingredients here because I would love, LOVE to be able to make this. Anyone watching and making this, please enjoy a bowl for me!

[@WhyBenA]

Was the restaurant called SOM TUM? I always thought that place was the best Thai Restaurant ever! They had so many delicious dishes, the Tom Kha Gai was one of the best soups I've ever had. Unfortunately the restaurant is permanently closed

[@TheMoWay]

I used to work in a restaurant In Germany. When I get sick, our Chinese chef makes for me this soupe. It is one of the tasteful soups I ever had. I am doing this now !

[@kaitlyn6143]

for anyone who's never had this. This is INCREDIBLE!

[@fredq6118]

That intro is really amazing btw - it's exactly what I'd want as an intro on every cooking video, a summary of the recipe to see if it is what I am looking to cook or not. Now I have it saved to watch fully later just when I feel like eating this particular dish. 10/10

[@slabaugh5]

I haven’t made Tom Kha in well over a year, so I just wanted to double check by watching your video. I wasn’t expecting such a wholesome video, thanks!

[@varenkarodriguez8526]

Went to a Thai restaurant for the first time yesterday and had this soup… IT WAS AMAZING! I’m definitely making this!

[@orangexylem]

It is the best soup on the planet.

[@ramsessevenone416]

Seonkyong, this is the video that got me hooked on your recipes. I practically tortured myself watching them, because at the time I had COVID-19 and couldn't smell or taste. When I first came across this I HAD to try and make it. After a full week of no smell or taste, I made it two weeks later and it was delicious! Thank you for introducing me to a plethora of new recipes!

[@michaelhorner4995]

Seonkyoung, whenever you use that “so good, so good” song it gets stuck in my head 😂. Anyone else? Can’t wait to try this!

[@Cinnamoirroll]

I just made this and WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. Extremely yummy! My house smells like a Thai restaurant 😍❤️

[@christinajackson2662]

Tom kha gai is my go-to soup when I’m sick. It’s so easy to make, especially since I keep prepped lemongrass and galangal ready in my freezer. Eaten with a healthy drizzle of chili oil, it’s guaranteed to clear my head and ease my cough. I’ve never put tomato in though, will give it a try!

[@sarahkang1610]

How do you preserve or keep lemongrass or galangal in your freezer?

[@lorahiggins4006]

@@sarahkang1610 I just wrap the lemongrass in cling wrap. I cut the galangal, lay it on a parchment covered tray in a single layer, freeze and then transfer to a plastic freezer bag. Same with the kefir lime leaves. I live 45 minutes from an Asian grocery so I can't get fresh ingredients often. Just take out what you need for a recipe and allow to thaw It's really quite nice!

[@nathaliej3768]

I love how Costco is just a universal experience for all Asians. We love a deal what can I say

[@helenharrand2768]

Not just Asians! Everyone loves Costco!

[@VictorianIreland]

This came out amazing!!! I did make substitutions where necessary but the flavor was AUTHENTIC!! used lemon leaves instead of lime, and ginger instead of the famed galangal (oooone day!!) And 1/2 tbsp of tomato paste since my roomie used our last tomato...and I wasn't going to leave my warm apt for a tomato....but this soup *chefs kiss* amazing!! 👏👏👏

[@MrsSukre07]

I've just tried this for our dinner and lemme tell you, it's sooooo good!! Thanks Seonkyoung for sharing the recipe.

[@crystallam7335]

I made this today with less coconut milk and defrosted white fish fillet but mostly this recipe and I LOVED it!!! Thank you, my dad loved it too 🥰🥰😍

[@NinisCooking]

Cold weather like this (actually now is Winter in Thailand) soup is the best choice! 💗✨ your Tom Kha is full of the aroma of herbs and that's is great! It looks very creamy and tasty, I like it, like it 🤤🤤

[@tramnguyen0000]

I love you so much! I decided to make this after being scared of messing up for so long. I made some adjustments. I only added one tbsp of fish sauce and found that was enough. I couldn't find lime leaves, and I also used the thai red curry paste for the chicken marinade and also added some to the soup. Other than that I pretty much followed everything you said. Also guys, please get galangal. It's a bit herbal like ginger but it gives a different taste in the soup. It's too important to be replaced by ginger😅. Anyways I'm so glad I decided to make this. Note: I used the entire chicken broth container (4 cups) for 1 can of coconut milk and found that it's not thick enough. Her ratio is definitely spot on. 2 cups of chicken broth for 1 can of coconut milk.

[@sophiyah-3671]

This looks so good I am about to cry because I don’t have any Asian grocery store where I live. If I can buy everything online I definitely will because this is my CRAVING right now and forever

[@CarlRRogers]

I just made this. I didn’t have the tomato but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. It was amazing!! Thank you so much!!!!

[@jenlin4560]

I made this yesterday for my family and omg so easy and so good! Thank you for sharing the recipe. I love all your recipes. They’re easy to follow.

[@amytan1571]

Can get galangal easily in Malaysia. Tried the recipe and it taste superb ! I added more chilly for the spiciness....so good ! Tqvm for sharing.

[@Gud2B_Blessed]

OK MISS LADY😁💥💥💥I made this soup on 5/9/23. And when I tell you if was MARVELOUS!!!!! MADE IT TO THE T. (I used oyster mushrooms) and I placed it over rice. And my family Lo ❤ed it🎉❗💕🔥🔥🔥⭐⭐ I did heat the aromatics first in the wok before I added the chicken broth. Cant wait for a bowl of left over. THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER YUMMY RECIPE. 😍😍😉👍 I had to come back and add to this comment....THE NEXT DAY!!!! OMGOOOOODNESS.😊😊SOOO GOOD. ALL THE FLAVORS SETTLED . THE SOUP THICKENED IT WAS SCRUMPTIOUS. ❤❤

[@DianeH2038]

thank you for advocating for galangal! it is NOT ginger, absolutely not. it's worth the time & effort to find it, and to pick up makrut lime leaves and lemongrass while you're at it.

[@mmuhd]

Agree.....alternative name is BLUE GINGER. We called it lengkuas here. Very important root spice in SE Asian cusines.

[@sherristevenwilliams6033]

Did she say that galangal would cut you when raw? If so I’m assuming it cooks down? Thanks.

[@mmuhd]

@@sherristevenwilliams6033 It is not easy and can be quite dangerous to cut galangal because it is a pretty hard root. Use sharp knife and be careful.

[@michaeldahms7006]

Botanically speaking Galangal is a ginger, it’s just not the common ginger root that is so well known across the culinary world. There are so many Gingers used for their rhizomes or their seeds. Turmeric rhizome, various kinds of Cardamom seed pods, finger root, and several of the peacock gingers are used in cooking too, also blue and black ginger roots. Most are very regional as far as use goes but there are culinary ginger species in the American tropics, Asia, South Asia, and probably other places too. In the case of the rhizomes they are pretty hard to find fresh but I’ve seen Galangal in the frozen foods section at my local Asian Grocery store.

[@DianeH2038]

@@michaeldahms7006 okay, sure technically, botanically it is, but so is cardamom. however, galangal is also different than common ginger when used in cooking. that was my point. powdered galangal is actually easy to find, though it lacks the punch of fresh (of course). sometimes it's called shajiang, or sand ginger, or cutcherry powder.

[@crystallam7335]

I also made a little steeped tea for myself with the removed lime leaves’ stalks!! So so yummy and calming for me while I cook and enjoy the delicious meal!! Ended up having a little for lunch and a nice portion for dinner! So so good 🥰❤️😘

[@berniekitts1786]

Nice recipe. There is one key ingredient to make it authentic and add complexity. It is Namprik Pao or Chili Tamarind paste. It comes in a glass jar and is readily available in Thai and Asian markets. Two generous tablespoons and you have transported yourself to Bangkok. It is also the basis of Tom Yum Kung which is the traditional shrimp lemongrass soup but no coconut milk in that one.

[@marieb3473]

How much are you supposed to add? And when? Thank you!!

[@tanias8617]

They said 2 generous teaspoons

[@uhN0id]

I love tom kha gai so much but yours looks so much better and heartier than any I've seen at the restaurants. I am definitely making this. One of my favorite soups ever!

[@susanscovill6817]

Thom kha gai is my favourite soup hands down.

[@sakuradreamz]

this is what I nearly ALWAYS order when I go out for Thai. I enjoy it to have a ton of broth in the bowl, and I spoon copious amounts of Jasmine rice into it as I go along :3 Makes me SO happy. Especially with thai chili garlic sauce to go with

[@aneladee2801]

I have a very bad cold right now and I’ve been trying to find this recipe proper, thank you so much 🙏🏼

[@brenan6]

OMG JUST MADE THIS (with some substitutions READ AHEAD!) TURNED OUT GREAT!!! Instead of chicken I used sliced turkey, instead of lemon grass and lime leaves, I used mustard and mayonnaise, instead of soup broth, I used slices of white bread, instead of thai chilis i used provolone cheese, instead of the shallots I used lettuce, but i did have tomato! (phew 😅). I just put all the fresh ingredients in between the slices of white bread, and i substituted the rice for some lays potato chips. It still tasted SUPER AUTHENTIC tho.

[@billmilosz]

Tom Kha Gai is my VERY FAVORITE food in the world- if it's done right. Your recipe looks like it would suit me very well. I live in Chicago and there are a lot of Thai restaurants here and most of them make Tom Ka too sweet for my taste. Also, for me the tomatoes are optional. And you have to use **GOOD** fish sauce, and good chicken stock. Sometimes I like tom kha medium spicy, sometimes I like it hot. I always like more lime juice.

[@totustuustotalmentetuyo]

First thing that popped up on Google was your video :) glad I found your channel and content! I enjoyed this video especially your cheery attitude and careful attention to all the ingredients ❤

[@ritualhealingcentre6054]

I tried Tom Ka gai my last trip to Thailand, and fell in love. I was lucky enough recently to find galengal, so love feeling like I’m making a true recipe x x x

[@lowdown3007]

Just tried your recipe! 🤤 I used 5 small Thai chili's. I'll use 2 limes instead of 3 next time. The Kaffir leaves and lemon grass really came thru 👌 Maybe I'll use some coconut cream as well next time

[@malolousoquino4677]

I tried yesterday taste good even without lime leaves just juice.

[@foodbyweeri]

The lime leaves will take the soup to 11! If you have the opportunity, buy them frozen from an Asian supermarket and they will stay good forever

[@LastFirst-l1w]

I’ll use 1 lime leave because it definitely takes it up 10 notches lol

[@moonchild7456]

Tom Kha is my all time favorite soup, if not food, and the version you taught through your video looks delicious. My only concern is whether the digestive system can handle the galangal free floating. The lemon grass can be avoided since if kept in large segments as you've done as well as the lime leaves. But what about the galangal which you warn as being woody and possibly damaging to the skin?

[@USNVA11]

That looks perfect ! Tom Kha Gai is one of my favorites. You’ve gotta have a bowl of rice to go with it !

[@oliverjackson9008]

Thank you watching from jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@wnose]

FYI, if you live in North America, visit your local asian grocery and look for the frozen lemongrass from Thailand. Absolutely better than anything grown in North America. Also, instead of using chicken breast, braise chicken thighs for 45 minutes at a low simmer then follow the rest of the recipe. Don't boil - meat will get tough.

[@BombasticNiknastic]

I'm in Washington and can't get fresh lemongrass or galangal but my Thom Lha tastes just like the Thai restaurant we used to go to. Some places in America we just can't get those things!!! We HAVE to make due.

Thank you, this is such a comforting soup. If you want another layer of flavour, add a tablespoon of Thai red curry paste or Tom yum paste. Most asian marts would sell it in a bottle or foil sachets
