Delicious Tom Kha Gai Recipe - with Benja Chicken
Tom Kha Gai is a dish that brings me back to when I was living in Thailand. The creamy, sour and spicy soup never fails to get the salivary glands going!
For this recipe, I used Benja Chicken Breasts which have been lab proven to be 55% juicer than regular chicken and with a simple marinating technique the chicken is exquisitely tender and moist!
Benja Chicken is available at major supermarkets

- RedMart - bit.ly/LazBenjaChickenStore
- or directly from cpshopz.sg/
Here is my recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
- Benja Chicken Breast (500g) - bit.ly/LazBenjaChickenStore
- Salt (1 Tsp)
- White Pepper (1 Tsp)

- Yellow Onion (half bulb)
- Coconut Milk (500ml)
- Lime Juice (3 Tbsp)
- Fish Sauce (3 Tbsp)

- Shrimp Paste (1Tbsp)
METHOD

Velveting is the only way. No going back now. Either you do or you don’t and if you don’t the chicken turns out inferior. Thanks for the priceless tip.

Good recipe! I myself don't use onions, but I've seen it done. The shallots would be especially nice. Tom kha gai is my favorite dish in the world. If I could only eat one food the rest of my life, it would be this. When I make a big pot to share with others, I make it without any peppers because I have my Thai pepper sauce and chili flakes for my serving, which I like fiery hot.

Egg white is alkaline which actually tenderises the chicken if you leave it in it for long enough.

You can leave it out if you don't have it. A bit of Tom Yum is fine too.
Chef, this is my fave soup. ?? Would it not be better to strain the lemongrass and galangal and kefir leaves and then add the mushrooms, milk ect? The lemongrass and galangal are very woody and tough to eat. Just a thought.

ถือว่าใกล้เคียงกับต้มข่าไก่นะคะ แต่ดูผิดสูตรและไม่น่ากินค่ะ 1. ต้มข่าไก่จะใส่เห็ดหรือไม่ใส่ก็ได้ อันนี้ถูกต้องค่ะ 2. ต้มข่าไก่ ใช้มะขามเปียกค่ะ ไม่ใช่น้ำมะนาว 3. ต้มข่าไก่ ควรใช้เนื้อติดหนังค่ะ จะได้มีความมันผสมในน้ำแกง 4. ต้มข่าไก่เป็นแกงรสเผ็ดอ่อนๆ ฉะนั้นต้องมีพริกแดงและพริกแห้งโรยค่ะ 5. ต้มข่าไก่ควรใส่ผักชีฝรั่งลงไปด้วยค่ะ 6. ต้มข่าไก่ ใส่ใบมะกรูดไม่ต้องเยอะขนาดนั้นค่ะ 7. ต้มข่าไก่ ไม่ควรใส่มันกุ้ง ไม่ใช่ต้มยำกุ้งนะคะ ถ้าอยากได้สีควรใส่พริกเผาค่ะ

Thanks for your tips! Translated: It is considered close to Tom Kha Kai. But it looks wrong in the recipe and it's not appetizing. 1. Tom Kha Gai with or without mushrooms. This is correct. 2. Boiled galangal with chicken. Use tamarind. not lemon juice It will have oiliness mixed in the soup. 4. Tom Kha Gai is a mild spicy curry. So must have red chilli and dried chili sprinkles
He literally looks like Timothy Delaghetto (clean version)
