Authentic Thai Food Recipes - Thai Soup Recipes
Monday, 05 May 2008
Video Sneak Preview (tiny, low resolution) Jules's Blurb: Thai soups are famous for their variety and aromatic flavours, although this (Spicy, Sour and Sweet) Thai Chicken Coconut Soup is probably not as famous as the Tom Yam Gung recipe although in this writers opinion, it is far nicer. More emphasis is given to the sweet, provided by coconut milk and palm sugar, but don't get me wrong here, this Traditional Thai Chicken coconut Soup Recipe is full of balanced and wonderfully contrasting flavours about to explode onto your taste buds just as soon as you make it Khwanjai's own Tom Kaa Gai recipe is the best version of this soup I have ever tasted, try it for yourself and you'll see what I mean, it's not really very spicy at all, but she gives a few tips and tricks to make it in her style in the video In Khwanjai's Thai cooking classes she shares lots of tips for creating mouth watering dishes to please all the family and this video tutorial is no different, packed with great tips and advice to improve your results, sign up now for Khwanjai's Thai cooking classes and your Trial Thai Banquet Course This is one they don't teach in Thai cooking classes much, they tend to stick to simpler dishes, but don't let that put you off, below are full and detailed instructions, nothing is left out plus a video to help, it's all in the preparation Thai Coconut Chicken soup (Tom Kaa Gai) How to Make Coconut Chicken Soup Ingredients: 2 Large Chicken Legs 3 Lemon grass 4 Large Cloves Garlic 5 Kaffir Lime Leaves 5-6 Galangal Slices 5 Thai Red Chillies (Pik ki nu) 3-4 Shallots (1/3 cup when chopped) 2 Spring Onions (scallions) 4 Coriander sprigs (including 2 roots if you can) 3 Tomatoes 2 tbs Fish Sauce 2 tbs Tamarind Puree How To Make Tamarind Puree Video 1/2 tbs Chicken stock powder (or 1 cube) 1 tbs Palm Sugar (or demarara if nothing else) 1/2 tbs Salt 750ml Coconut Milk 2 Cups water Preparation: Chop the chicken into large bite size pieces, leaving the bones and skin improves the flavour Cut lemon grass at an angle, (see video) Peel garlic cloves and cut each in half Tear Kaffir lime leaves from stems and central vein Slice Galangal, penny thickness or less. If it's a tender young Galangal you can leave the skin on. See the difference in our Thai Food Wiki Cut Thai chillies at an angle lengthwise, the more you cut the more spicy the soup will become, we cut 3 out of 5 in the video, why? See the video Peel shallots and cut into same size pieces a s the garlic Chop spring onions into small logs about 1" long Tear the coriander and if you have roots cut in half lengthways, you can happily eat them but mostly they add to the stock flavour, if no roots add all the stems at least Cut tomatoes into quarters and half again How to Cook: Bring water to boil over high heat in a medium pan, before adding 2/3rds of your coconut milk, bring back to boil Add the Lemon grass, Galangal and Kaffir lime leaves Bring to the boil for about 2 minutes, then add everything else except coriander, spring onions and Tamarind puree Wait until it boils again before stirring and boil for 5 minutes, allow lid to vent or it could well froth over the top After 5 minutes, simmer (no lid) until the chicken is cooked through, 5 - 10 minutes or so Now is the time to taste test and adjust flavour to your liking with fish sauce or sugar etc When happy with the taste, add tamarind puree, coriander and spring onions, mix in thoroughly & remove from heat. That's it folks! Done! Serving Suggestion: Serve into a large bowl . Eat with jasmine rice (traditional) A great recipe to compliment this unique Tom Kaa Gai recipe is, as Khwanjai suggests, our Sweet and Sour Stir Fried Pork Recipe or our Egg Fried Rice Recipe both of which have non spicy, slightly savoury flavours.
