Chicken Coconut Soup
Chicken Coconut Soup
ต้มข่าไก่ tom kha gai
Posted: 15th February 2005
Chicken Coconut Soup with mushroom
I read in the newspaper the other day, that a research team from the UK had proved that an extract of galangal can both kill cancer cells and protect healthy ones from the disease. As this is a common ingredient in Thai stir-fries and soups I was intrigued to learn more. I went onto the Internet and googled "galangal". I eventually found a recipe for Tom Kha Gai (chicken coconut soup). As this is on my favourites list I decided to have a go at cooking it.
My first stop was my collection of cookery books. I soon discovered that although each book had a recipe for Tom Kha Gai they were quite different from each other. From my memory of eating this dish I decided to use the recipe from "Thailand The Beautiful Cookbook". I made a list of the ingredients before setting off to the supermarket. I needed: coconut milk, galangal, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, lime juice, coriander leaves and some chili. They wanted green but I wanted red.
(Left): galangal (Right): lemon grass
On the left is the galangal (kha). As you can see, it is similar in appearance to ginger. It is pinkish and has a peppery flavour. The label on the pack said it cost 45 baht per kilo. This pack cost 5.75 baht. More than enough. On the next shelf I noticed another pack with both lemon grass (right), galangal and kaffir lime leaves (below right). These are the ingredients for Lemon Grass Soup (more famously known as Tom Yum). As this was only 7 baht I decided to go for that. (1 US$ is presently 38 baht.) As far as I understand, although these two dishes have similar ingredients, Tom Yum focuses more on the lemon grass and Tom Kha Gai focuses more on the galangal. If you are wondering at this stage what "tom" means then I will tell you that it means "boiled".
(Left): coriander (Right): kaffir lime leaves
Next I needed the coriander or "pak chee" in Thai. There were two varieties on the shelf. One was "pak chee tai" and the other "pak chee jeen". I guess the former was Thai and the latter Chinese. As "pak chee jeen" was translated into "coriander" on the label I knew which one to pick. This only cost 4 baht. Next on my list was the small green limes, coconunt milk, chilis and of course the chicken. Oh yes, did you know that the red chilis that are labelled in English as "red bird chili peppers" are called in Thai "mouse shit chilis"! I wonder why they didnt translate that properly in the supermarket?
Tom Kha Gai - Chicken coconut Soup
Ingredients:
2 cups of coconut milk
6 thin slices of galangal
2 stalks of lemon grass (cut into 1 inch strips and crush with cleaver)
5 fresh kaffir lime leaves (torn in half, not cut)
250 g of boneless chicken
5 tablespoons of fish sauce (naam blaa)
2 tablespoons of sugar
Half a cup of lime juice
1 teaspoon of black chili paste (nam prik pow)
Quarter cup of coriander leaves
5 green chili peppers (I will use red chilis)
Method 1:
(1) Combine half the coconut milk with the galangal, lemon grass and lime leaves in a large saucepan and heat to boiling. Add the chicken, fish sauce and sugar.
(2) Simmer for about 4 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked. Add the remaining coconut milk to the saucepan and heat just to boiling.
(3) Place the lime juice and chili paste in a serving bowl then pour the soup into the serving bowl.
(4) Garnish with the torn coriander leaves and chili pepers, and serve.
Other recipes I have read dont include the lemon grass. I also saw another one that said add the chili at the same time as the chicken. I will do that. This next version of the same recipe comes from a book called "Simply Thai Cooking". I am thinking I will go for a mixture of the two. However, they say add lemon juice which I dont have!
Method 2:
(1) Slice the chicken into thin strips.
(2) Smash lemon grass with the flat side of a chefs knife once and then cut into 1 inch pieces; slice galangal into thin rounds; tear lime leaves into thirds; cut chilis in half.
(3) Heat coconut milk and water in a saucepan for 2-3 minutes. Dont let it boil. Reduce heat to a medium and add lemon grass, galangal, lime leaves, chilies and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring continuously and not letting it boil.
(4) Add chicken strips and cook for 5 minutes, stirring over medium heat, until the chicken is cooked.
(5) Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce and quarter tablespoon of sugar. stir, and continue cooking for another minute or two/
(6) Transfer to a soup bowl and serve immediately, garnished with fresh corriander leaves.
Well, I think everything is ready. I am off now to cook some Tom Kha Gai. Wish me luck!

"Larb Kai" (Spicy Chicken Salad)
Lahb Gai is a popular Thai salad dish that originated from the eastern part of Thailand, or E-Sarn Province. E-Sarn food is typically spicy and full of robust flavor. This particular dish can be eaten alone or with rice. It is traditionally served with sticky rice, typical of E-Sarn food.
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground chicken
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup of sliced green onions
1/2 cup of sliced red onions
1/2 cup of shredded mint leaves
4 tablespoons fish sauce
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup grounded roasted-rice (see below)
1-teaspoon green pepper (sliced)
Ground dry red chili
Directions:
Heat the chicken stock in a medium sized pot, and then add in the ground chicken. Cook for a few minutes until the chicken is done. Drain and allow the chicken to cool down, then add in the lemon juice, green and red onions, and mint leaves. Add in the fish sauce, and stir. At this point, you may add in more lemon juice if it suits your taste. I recommend adding in about 2 tablespoons of dried red chili, but you may use more or less than the recommended amount. The last step is to add in the roasted rice. This dish is typically garnished with a 1/4 head of lettuce and cilantro and green beans (these items are all optional)
Stir the chicken in the hot pan until it is almost done. Then mix the chicken with fish sauce and then add lemon juice; add green onion, red onion, pepper, and mint leaves; add fish sauce or lemon
juice to taste. Add the roasted rice powder. Taste it one more time and add either fish sauce or chili to suit your taste. Eat with rice or sticky rice. Look for some crunchy vegetables like lettuce or napa cabbage to eat it with.
Roasted Rice
Set your burner to the highest setting, and add in one cup of rice. Keep stirring until the rice becomes brown and color. It will almost achieve a burnt look. Then grind it using either a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle.

Pad Thai - ผัดไทย
This most popular Thai dish is excellent served hot or cold. Makes enough for six people.
Ingredients:
8 large garlic cloves - peeled and minced
3 large eggs - lightly beaten
1 large limes - cut into 6 wedges
1/3 c. roasted peanuts - chopped
1 bunch scallions - thinly sliced crosswise
1/3 c. golden brown sugars
1/3 c. peanut oil
1 lb. large shrimp - peeled and deveined
1/4 c. white vinegar
1/2 bunch freshly chopped cilantro leaves
3/4 lb. porks tenderloin - cut into 1-inch-long thin strips
2 c. bean sprouts
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/4 c. fish sauce
1 1/2 lbs. flat rice noodles
Steps:
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and then remove from the heat. Add the noodles to the pot and let soak for 12 to 15 minutes until the noodles are soft.
2. Thoroughly mix together the vinegar, sugar, fish sauce and ketchup. Drain the noodles.
3. Place a large wok over medium-high heat. When the wok is hot, add the oil and heat for 15 seconds.
4. Add the garlic and stir constantly for a few seconds. Add the shrimp and pork and stir-fry for one minute.
5. Stir in the sauce and bring to a boil. Place the noodles in the wok and toss to coat well.
6. Cook until most of the sauce has been absorbed by the noodles. Make a hole in the center of the wok, add the eggs and let cook, without stirring, for 15 seconds.
7. After 15 seconds, stir-fry until the eggs are cooked and well distributed throughout the noodles. Add the red pepper flakes and scallions and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
8. Remove the wok from the heat and stir in the peanuts and bean sprouts. Serve garnished with cilantro and lime wedges.
Tips:
Flat rice noodles are commonly found in Chinese or Asian markets, or in the Asian sections of some supermarkets.
If you want a vegetarian pad thai, leave out the meat and add some cubes of tofu instead. You can fry the tofu until golden beforehand if you like. You might also add a few broccoli florets. (The fish sauce is still non-vegetarian; some vegetarians don\'t mind this, others do. You can substitute soy sauce, but it won\'t have the exact same flavor.)

Ingredient
2 Top loin steaks, cut 1-inch thick
OR
1 Top sirloin steak, cut 1-inch thick
3 tablespoons light teriyaki sauc
1 large sweet onion, 1/2-inch slices
PEANUT SAUCE
2 tablespoons light teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Directions
1. Brush 3 tablespoon teriyaki sauce evenly over both sides of beef steaks and onion slices. Place steaks and onion on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill top loin steaks, uncovered 15 to 18 minutes (top sirloin steak 17 to 21 minutes) until steaks are medium rare to medium doneness and onion is tender, turning occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, in small bowl, using a fork, gradually stir 2 tablespoon teriyaki sauce and 2 tablespoons water into peanut butter and red pepper, mixing until smooth.

Cooks tip: To check the temperature of the coals, cautiously hold your hand palm side down at cooking height (just above the grid). Count the number of seconds you can hold your hand in that position before the heat is uncomfortable and you have to pull it away; 4 seconds for medium coals.

Thai Prawn Curry with Pineapple
Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) uncooked fresh or frozen tiger prawns in their shells
1 lb (450 g) fresh pineapple, cut into ¾ inch (2 cm) chunks
2 x 400 ml tins coconut milk
For the curry paste:
4 dried red chillies, soaked with the juice and zest of 1 lime for 30 minutes
1 level tablespoon lemon grass, finely chopped
1 inch (2.5 cm) cube fresh ginger
5 garlic cloves, peeled
7 Thai shallots, peeled (or normal shallots if not available)
1 level teaspoon shrimp paste (if not available use 2 anchovies)
½ level teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
To garnish:
2 kaffir lime leaves (if available)
2 medium-sized red chillies, de-seeded and shredded into hairlike strips
Method :
You will also need a wok or a very large frying pan.
If the tiger prawns are frozen, defrost them by emptying them into a colander and leaving them for about an hour to defrost. Then cook the prawns (either fresh or frozen) in a frying pan or wok. Add the prawns in their shells to the hot pan and dry-fry over direct high heat for about 4-5 minutes, turning and tossing them around whilst you watch their beige and black stripes turn pink.
After that remove them from the heat and when they\'re cool enough to handle, peel off the skins, then make a slit all along their backs and remove any black thread. Now keep them covered and refrigerated until you need them.
To make the curry paste, all you do is put everything into a food processor or blender, then switch on to a high speed and blend until you have a rather coarse, rough-looking paste. Remove the paste and keep it covered in the fridge until you need it.
When you\'re ready to make the curry, empty the contents of the tins of coconut milk into a wok and stir while you bring it up to the boil, then boil until the fat begins to separate from the solids. This will take about 20 minutes, and if you listen carefully you\'ll hear a sizzle as the fat begins to come out and the whole thing is reduced. Ignore the curdled appearance. Now add the curry paste, give it 3 minutes\' cooking time, enough for the flavours to develop, then add the prawns and the pineapple and let them heat through gently for another 2 minutes. During that time, shred the lime leaves by placing one on top of the other, then roll them up tightly and cut into very thin shreds. Serve the curry with lime leaves and chilli strips sprinkled over, and some Thai fragrant rice as an accompaniment.
This recipe is taken from Delia Smith’s Winter Collection. It has also appeared in Sainsbury\'s Magazine (Guide to Fish Cookery).

How to fry an Egg - ทอดไข่ดาว
There\'s nothing like a fried egg in the morning ... with some toast and coffee ... mmm.
Steps:
1. Over medium heat, warm a small amount of oil or butter, perhaps 1 1/2 tsp., in a small (8-inch) skillet, or spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Crack an egg into the pan. (Image 1)
3. Cook until the white appears solid, about 3 to 4 minutes. (Image 2)
4. For basted eggs, put 1 tsp. or so of melted butter over the yolk.
5. For eggs sunny-side up, remove the egg from the pan with a spatula and serve. (Image 3)
6. For eggs over easy, carefully flip the egg over onto the yolk side and cook another minute or two. (You\'ll probably want to turn the egg after 2 to 3 minutes, instead of 3 to 4, depending on how well done you like your eggs.) (Images 4 to 5)
Tips:
If the egg\'s edges burn, turn down the heat.
Most people like the egg cooked gently, as the white gets rubbery if the heat is cranked up. But some people like their fried eggs with browned edges. Turn up the heat if you like it that way!
Some people cover the pan to make the egg cook faster, but then the yolk gets a film over the top.
