Recipe: Thai chicken soup (Tom Ka Gai)
Meat and poultry recipes with herbs
February 02, 2010
 As I told you in the previous post, I harvested some lemon grass, and I used some for the famous thai chicken soup, Tom Ka Gai or Dom Yam Gai.
 It's really quick to prepare, and... ah, I don't know if I'm able to describe how it makes you feel. It's special like this double rainbow (it's not a trick, there were really two rainbows in the sky), warm like a tender hug.
The spiciness of ginger and chili will makes you breathe well and the soft taste of coconut can't be forget soon.
I used a thai chili for this recipe, the Thai Dragon, but any red chili pepper is okay.
Serves two as a starter, one as single course.
