Tom Kha Gai is a simple dish I grew up eating with rice—my mom used to make it for me, and now I can make it for her. The flavor is rich and aromatic from the coconut milk, with extra heat from fresh chilies and a squeeze of lime for a tangy kick. It's absolutely delicious!

Steps

1

Lightly crush the lemongrass and galangal, then slice them. Tear the kaffir lime leaves and slice the onion; set aside.
2

Peel the winter melon and cut it into pieces.
3

Add the lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and onion to a pot, then pour in the thin coconut milk (the watery part).
4

Once the coconut milk comes to a boil, add the chicken.
5

When the soup boils again and the chicken starts to cook, add the winter melon.
6

When it comes to a boil, season with sugar, fish sauce, and salt. Add the thick coconut milk (the creamy part), adjust the seasoning to taste, and bring to a final boil. Turn off the heat. Ladle into bowls and top with chopped fresh chilies, chili oil, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
7

It's ready! Serve with hot rice for a spicy, aromatic, and creamy coconut soup.
