(4 servings as entrée) ‘Tom Kha Gai’ is a light, aromatic soup, of which one always enjoys a little bit repeatedly during a traditional Thai meal.
In a large saucepan, bring half of the coconut milk to a boil along with galangal, lemongrass and lime leaves. Add chicken, fish sauce and sugar.
Bring ingredients to a simmer for about 4 minutes until chicken is cooked. Pour in the remaining coconut milk and bring to a boil.
Add lime juice and chili sauce to a serving bowl form and then ladle in the soup.
Garnish with coriander leaves and crushed chilies and bring to the table.
