Tom Kha Gai (Thai Coconut Soup)

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.

From 1000 subscribers too over 5 million in just 3 years. So totally awesome! I'm even getting your cookbook for Christmas this year. Plus I'm gonna make me some Tom Kha Gai, I freaking love that soup, but never made it myself 🙈

[@roshif-tv9xd]

Seriously...I love this soup. Had it in Thailand for the first time about 10 years ago and it's become one of my favorites. It's not complicated to make, and packs so much flavor! I 💖 "Tom-dat-guys" soup.

[@varunsingh7080]

But in the traditional Tom kha gai which we get in thailand we don't drain the gravy and leave the veggie behind we keep everything we don't take out anything

[@error_4004]

I could believe he drained the vegetables either 😰 they’re essential to the soup.

[@beatleloverliv]

Exactly! Never been served a Tom kha soup without the veggies left in

[@EntwinnedFingers]

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.

[@HesselFolkertsma]

I understand taking some of these out, more for the comfort of not having your guests or spouse go on a witch-hunt on some of the ingredients.

[@ednamode2334]

@@EntwinnedFingers yeah if his sharp knife struggled to get through that galangal then I think I’d chip a tooth trying to eat it.

So I have been ordering this from my local Thai restaurant here in Korea every week. Your recipe is literally everything. Now I can make it for myself. Thank you!!

[@Nighty_P]

YES!! MY FAVORITE DISH! Although I don't know if this is just some family but we don't strain anything out of the tom kah gai soup. Chicken skin is also very nice to add into the soup. You should try it!

[@rubiluna9984]

I worked at a Thai place for almost 3yrs and they'd leave the ginger in really hot water for about 5-10 sumtimes longer depending on how much, and it'd come off super easily with the knife

[@nashfamily7752]

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

[@User-47.00]

In one year you’ve gained 419,000 subscribers dude. That’s so awesome! You definitely deserve it. I just learned about you yesterday and I subbed after the first vid because I know quality content when I see it, but you still blew my expectations out of the water with the variety of cooking content you do.

Tom kha talay (seafood tom kha) is what I get EVERY time I go to a thai place. I've always wanted to try my hand at making it! Just a matter of finding galangal root for me (I grow lemongrass).

[@NutGFC]

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.

[@johnscanlan6337]

I'm definitely going to make this!!!

[@DekarNL]

This recipe needs more views. This soup is insanely simple to make and tastes so good. Maybe a good remake idea?

[@Mrbfgray]

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.

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

[@markmanning8832]

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! :-)
