I add a couple boullion cubes, as this recipe usually calls for chicken brother rather than water. I also skip the fish sauce.
This might be some kind of tasty chicken soup, but it’s not Thai. Tom Kha would NOT have garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons grated ginger, cumin or dried coriander- all of which would make the flavor heavy. And it NEEDS galangal, absolutely, and should have keffir lime leaves or at least some lime juice.
This is so easy and flavorful. I followed the directions exactly, but next time I think I’ll only add 3 cups of water…..I would like just a little more intense coconut flavor. Otherwise….it was perfect. Great the next day also.
