Tom Kha Gai - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breasts or 1 lb chicken thigh
3 stalks lemongrass
1 thumb chunk galangal
6 cups coconut milk
1 big white onion (or 2 small white onions)
6 kaffir lime leaves
8 ounces oyster mushrooms (I used 2 big handfuls)
5 -10 Thai red chili peppers
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
4 tablespoons lime juice
1 small bunch cilantro

Preparation

Once you have all the ingredients ready, you basically boil them all in coconut milk for about 10 minutes, turn off the heat, add in the cilantro and lime juice, and scoop it into a bowl to consume (ok there are a few other steps to make this, but that's why I made this tom kha gai recipe video).
Tom kha gai () is not meant to be an overly spicy Thai dish, like some can be. Instead, it's a Thai dish that focuses on the flavor of the coconut milk and the fresh ingredients. That being said, the recipe does include some Thai bird chilies, and I would recommend adding anywhere from 5 - 10 depending on how spicy you'd like it. However, that being said, it's supposed to be a mild dish. This recipe is simple to make, it doesn't take too many ingredients, and the flavors are well rounded and tasty. Make tom kha gai for your friends and family and they are sure to love it. Try this recipe out, let me know what you think in the comments below, and thank you for watching.
