Thaitomkhasoup Recipes

Steps:

• Devein lime leaves and cut into very thin slices; set aside.
• Combine chicken broth and coconut milk in a large pot; bring to a boil. Add chiles, galangal, and ginger and simmer over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Add chicken, sliced lime leaves, and lemon grass and continue to cook until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 10 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and add the drained straw mushrooms, fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Stir well, and serve with plenty of fresh cilantro on top as a garnish.

Steps:

• In 4qt or larger, heavy-bottomed pot, begin heating chicken broth and coconut milk on low-medium heat.
• Add the other ingredients for the broth, down through the brown sugar, as you prepare them.
• Bring broth to a slow simmer; never allow it to reach a rolling boil, and do not cover it at any time during cooking.
• When broth is simmering, begin adding remaining ingredients starting with the chicken, as you prepare them in the order listed, stirring regularly.
• Make sure the chicken is fully cooked by the time you add the cilantro--if you cube the chicken finely enough and use a normal length of time preparing the vegetables, this should not be an issue, but allow it to simmer a few extra minutes if necessary before adding the cilantro.
• About a minute after adding the cilantro, taste the soup and add some additional lime juice as desired to punch up the flavor (maybe 1-2 T--don't overdo it!).
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• To velvet chicken: Lightly beat egg white and combine with cornstarch. Toss the chicken strips or cubes in this mixture, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat the water and oil in a pot or a wok, until it's hot enough that a piece of chicken floats to the top when you put it inches Put the chicken in, in shifts if you have to to keep it from crowding, and cook until it's white, about 30 seconds. If you're not using the chicken straight away, refrigerate it until you do.
• To prepare the soup: Heat coconut milk and chicken broth to boiling.
• Turn down heat, add fish sauce, chili sauce, ginger, lemon and lime juices, and lemon zest, chicken, and mushrooms and simmer for a couple minutes.
• Add chopped green onions and chopped cilantro and serve.

Steps:

• Bring coconut milk and chicken stock to a boil in a pot over high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Add cilantro, lemongrass, galangal, Thai chile peppers, and kaffir lime leaves; simmer for 5 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high heat. Add chicken; simmer until no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes. Stir in cabbage; cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove soup from heat; stir in lime juice and fish sauce.
