Instead of having to fish out all the ginger and lemongrass, you can make a giant teabag out of cheese cloth and unwaxed tooth floss (butcher's twine might work too). Then you just leave the string over the side and lift it out when it's done it's job. It's great for things with small bits.

this recipe is so good it’s Kha Gai over...

In one of chef John's early videos he made a Thai soup and he said that he actually wants people to cook it and that's why he doesn't make it completely authentic as it's hard to get all the ingredients so he doesn't want his viewers to be discouraged just because they don't have all the authentic ingredients...

Respect ✊

I honestly never comment on videos but the responses to many Foodwishes videos of Asian recipes has seriously irked me. I feel that a minority group of people on BOTH sides are completely overreacting and being quite rude. Chef John NEVER claims to be authentic in his Asian or other dishes. He makes great dishes and provides us approachable recipes, not limiting people to harder to find ingredients. I find this really wonderful as a lot of what he is using is what he has on hand, much like how many people cook. I understand that many things can be found and bought easily online nowadays, but I personally don't completely trust some websites, shipping can be costly and it seems like far too much effort to go into a dish I'm trialling. I don't have the luxury of time and money to go out and find these rarer ingredients so I must make do, I'm sure many people would agree. Furthermore, I believe it is great that some people correct certain aspects such as in this video in regards to Kha being galangal and Khing being ginger - this is fact and as long as commenters are not saying it in a harsh manner, I totally respect what they are saying and I would rather learn these little facts than go on to call a dish something it isn't. For those acting harshly, feel proud that a national dish of yours is being recognised for its greatness and being spread around the world - this is one way in which your culinary history will continue on. To those people replying rudely to these comments from people "correcting" the recipe, food is a matter of pride and history for many countries. Shutting down completely is not only disrespectful but a sign of ignorance because how else do you learn without constructive criticism? This is a COMMUNITY, not a dictatorship where we must listen and follow only one persons words and recipes. Please be more aware that there is another human being on the other end of your sharp words and the world would be a better for it. Comment what you like, because I really can't stop you or be bothered to 'fight'.

sure sure. chef John is making our world a better place and all that. but if i had just been to a Thai restaurant and would love to learn to make a true Tom Kha Gai soup, this recipe is certainly not it. plus his way of making it takes twice as long preparing all that broth, which will discourage some people. lets be clear on what this soup is. this is a nice alternative where u also get to use your leftover chicken that went dry! probably a very nice soup. but not the real deal.

omg these people commenting on the authenticity of the recipe make me wanna kill myself..why can't people appreciate how great it is to be able to share and modify recipes, and create new flavours and ideas?! I'm Greek and every time I see or try a modified Greek recipe I get so excited to see how people approach our cuisine, instead of freaking out because someone put parsley in a Greek salad.

***** that is funny! my problem with 'authenticity' is that it's a very biased concept. I mean for example I have tried a Greek recipe called mousaka in so many different variations within Greece because each family makes it differently and it also depends on which part of Greece you eat it in. And I know that that's the case with many recipes from around the world. I do understand what you're saying about galangal and ginger but my initial point was that even if a recipe isn't authentic it doesn't matter to me because I actually like it when I see recipes being altered (that includes recipes from my own country). I also think that this helps encouraging people to try different flavours. I mean if Chef John had said to his viewers that they cannot absolutely cook this dish if they can't find galangal imagine how many people would be discouraged!

Its normal~they are worried about people with so such knowledge would mistaken the real and authentic way to do the traditional dishes,anyway,chef john would normally tell people about this~how he change one thing to another,so it is fine actually... sometimes people want to share how they make it~it is another good way to exchange the cooking experience

I don't get it either, people need to think a lil logically here. Thanksgiving is only a few days away, so even if someone wanted to try the "authentic" way, there would be no time to order the dried stuff, so I think his method would be easier for such a short time span.

***** Would this soup work with galangal paste? because I've never come across the actual root before. I've only seen it in a paste form.

I am thai and i think it's good from chef John to give other people an alternative to some dishes,I think he knows as well that this isn't the original tom kha gai.And he says it tast good so just try it out.If he would make a video about the original version ,you all would be like "where can i find galangal or kefir lime leaves"... and for those who are rude to the people that are defending our dish tom=soup ,kha=galangal ,Gai=chicken .If it's made with ginger it's no longer tom kha gai..but the most important thing is not the name but the taste.

This right here. Like 4 times in this video he specifically says “this isn’t the authentic ingredient, the actual ingredient here would be X, and I explain in detailed writing elsewhere why we are making this substitution”

Oh man Chef John!! My aunt is Thai, and she used to make this for us all the time when I was a kid. At the time I didn't know how to make it or even what it was called . I just remember it as "that awesome Thai soup Auntie used to make us" and what do you know! Years later, I'm watching my favorite KZread Chef make my favorite Thai soup from my childhood. Thanks for this video!

I'm Thai, the basics are there, I guess living abroad make it hard to get all the ingredients, I live in Taiwan and doesn't find kalanga root, anyway I think Chef did good with the left overs and what he has. Cooking is about being inventive and do with what you have, adjust seasoning according to your taste. I would have add, tomato, spring onion, chilies paste. I love what you do, tonight I'm going to try your stuff calamari ; )

It's called galanga in english. Try the RJsupermarket in Taipei.

Why is everyone claiming to be Thai so mad? Saw this on the Singapore recipe too. He never claimed this is the authentic recipe. Chef John does great interpretations aimed at the average household cook. It's not disrespectful. If you don't like it, don't cook it!

It's the same thing as pineapple on pizza. Italians will slap you silly if you do that.

I'm fortunate to live in the area that I do because there is a large Asian community near me and lots of Asian markets that sell the ingredients for their dishes. I've bought Kaffir leaves before for another recipe. I might even be able to find this galangal root everyone keeps talking about. I'm can't wait to try this, THANKS CHEF JOHN!!

My husband has been cooking chefs Johns Tom Kha GAO recipe (with chicken instead of turkey) for a couple years now and everybody loves it!

Thank you Chef John! It's taken me 65 years to start appreciating what an Artist you and other chefs are. Now I'm making up for lost time.

Here are my nitpick: Lime leaves + cilantro are pretty delicate and volatile aroma. The way I'd do it (I won't nitpick with ingredients) is that I'd add lime leaves, lemongrass and cilantro stem. Then bring back to simmer and fish those out. Turn off the heat, add lime juice, and stir. Chopped cilantro (as a garnish) go in last so aroma still retains. It's great to see Tom Kha Gai without breaking the bank. It's comfort food for us Thai afterall. No need to be pricy nor fancy. Simple and delicious are all that matters. Keep up your great vid, Chef John. Cheers from Thailand

Lemon Grass makes amazing tea. It is a favorite with a lot of the older folks in the Caribbean.

Chef John, please do not die ever! Without you, we would starve.

I had very low expectations about this recipe and I can tell you the moment I tasted it to see if it needs anything, my brain just lid up. The falvors in my mouth were so refreshing.. Comforting.. Sour savory sweet.. I just couldn't stop tasting.. This recipe is genius. Perfect for winter. I used galangal for the first time in my life and I can tell you the broth was beautiful, delicious! Thank you!

Dude, seriously? I've been obsessed with this soup and have read like 5 million recipes for this online recently. None of them looked just right and then you post this! I haven't even watched yet, but I know it will be just perfect because duh, it's you. THANK YOUUU!

Just made this, without the lime leaves since I hadn't any. Turned out delicious!!!

I will definately give it a try to this recipe because all the ingredients are accessible. For those questioning the authenticity of this dish, you can go to RinS Cook Book channel and good luck finding fresh galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and palm sugar if you don't have an asian market near by.

love how unique yet classic all of your ideas are!

This is an amazing soup!!! Made it exactly as the recipe (with turkey) and my mind was blown! So was my husbands. Once again, another easy to approach, great break down of a yummy dish. As I learn to cook- you are my go to! Thank you!

As a thai...this is not typical style of Tom Kha Kai. but i appreciate your present and thanks to demonstrate this dish to everyone on youtube. This is my favorite dish.

This is my go to when out for Thai. Never thought I could make it as good as the restaurant though. I added cabbage and yellow onion and a lot more thai peppers. Sooo good. TY!!

A comment regarding your citrus press. I used to use that yellow one too. Over the years I noticed that the yellow paint was missing (meaning it worked its way into my food) so I found on Amazon a stainless steel one. I suggest to everyone that they purchase that press. It is great!

I recently stumbled on to this channel and now has become my go-to channel for food. The recipes are as interesting as Chef John's voice. It's nice to see people learning about foods all over the world. But the thing I like most about this is that chef is flexible with recipes. Finding ingredients can be tough, and his substitutes are pretty close to the real deal. Sure, it messes up with the purists, but in the end YOU have to enjoy the food you made.

usually eaten with white rice on the side..one of my favorite dish..thx for sharing !

Every time I go out for Thai I have to get this soup. I just love to compare since it's a dish that needs exactly the right balance. I'm so excited to make it myself now! Thanks for the recipe!!

I was looking for Irish leek and potatoe soup.and here I am learning to make a wonderful soup by Chef John........I adore all the ingredients got to make this before the week is out. THANK YOU CHEF!

the legend chef John does it again , im salivating

This was truly fantastic! I served it with rice in a separate bowl on the side, like they often do in Thailand.

my favourite soup in the whole wide world of soups. Thanks for this "that's what I have in the fridge" version! Knowing your substitutes is always very handy :)

Thank you john! My favorite dish; I make it all the time! So nice to see you make it!

Chef John, Thank you so much for sharing this. I couldn't believe how good mine turned out! You are wonderful!!

honestly one of the top5 meals in the world. incredible delicious.

I'm 100% thai and I love how u pronounced the dish. So cute ! U did excellent job! Cheers x

Looks gorgeous. Family turkey feeds are no longer part of my life, but this looks so good, I think I'll go out and buy the original SE Asian jungle fowl (aka chicken) and try it that way. Thanks for he inspiration.

Oh my gosh this looks beyond delicious!! And i like cilantro but basil sounds amazing too. Best "what to do with leftover thanksgiving turkey" idea ever.

*This sounds so DELICIOUS!* wow, this recipe is an explosion of amazing flavors! love to try this for sure! (turkey broth, fish sauce, coconut milk, ginger + lemon grass + cilantro, taco oil, lemon, etc)

i'm thai and this is my favorite dish "ต้มข่าไก่" of all time !

Perfect now that the cold weather has kicked in this side of the pond pal, looks great!

Mmm, I love this at the Thai place I go to. They also add cubed tomatoes. Really great!

This is one of my favorite soups at the moment :) My husband loves it too! Really worth trying

This is and tom yum are my favorite soups in the world! I know what I'll be doing with my leftover turkey this year!

So glad you did this soup! It's my favorite!!!

Made this tonight for a try something new dinner, instant favorite!!! Thanks Chef John!!! You haven’t steered me wrong yet!!

Fantastic chef and very funny. Love your recipes and how simple you make everything feel.

This looks heavenly. Definitely going to try.

Tom Kai Gai with Turkey is amazing soup! I love it!😻

This is one of my favorite recipes! I usually use chicken thigh filet sliced along the grain, but I like the idea of using leftover turkey.

I also tried this recipe, but I like the soup a bit thicker, so I added more coconut milk and less broth. It was delicious. Thank you Chef....

I love this stuff!

"one optional, but extremely required step." hahaha

Oh my, I love Tom Kha Gai.Finally I can cook it by myself. Thank you so much for this (by the way beautiful) great video.

Yyaaayyyyyy! One of my favorite soups!

I think this is a great take on tom kha gai. I am a cook at a thai restaurant and aside from the ingredient swaps, I cook soup in a very similar way.

One of my favourite soups! I love the idea of using leftover turkey! 😄😄

Oh Chef John, great effort in making this for us. Please just ignore the rude and inconsiderate comments. It surprises me how simple you make cooking even though your years of experience shows in the clips. Please keep up the great work. Your international subscribers do look forward to each new instalment. BTW, I have tried to make several of your recipes and by following your steps and guidance, I have had success each time.

I love soup, and this soup looks extra awesome

Hi there, just jot'n down that this is one of my favorite dishes. I mean that this is a staple from my family too. It'll warm you up, help cure from a cold spell, clear your sinuses, and pretty much get you back on your feet. Yeah it's all that, thanks mr. foodwishes...

This looks so good, great use for Thanksgiving leftovers. Thanks Chef John!

Amazing! Definitely going to revive those leftovers via Tom Kha Gai! Thanks chef!

Beautiful recipe! I love your recipes, Chef! Awesome!

Love it, that was easy to make. Thank you for sharing.

Add the white asian noodles to this dish and it's perfect! I love you youtube channel!

Can't wait to make this, looks amazingly delicious.

What a beautiful bowl of soup! I may try it based on that alone.

Such a full flavored soup! What a treat!

I love the way he talks so much.

Just made it! Yummy!

I just made this tonight, it was amazing!

Food and beer are so amazing to me. Love this channel and the videos ..

love this soup I always get it when I go out to Thai restaurants :)

Slicing those mushrooms are Sooo satisfying.

Will try! Thank you for sharing!!

Dude, I'm having a hilarious breakdown over here... "just in cas my guests are wimps"... you're killing it :-DDD I so love your videos, thanks a lot man! greetings from Austria!

Neat recipe for leftovers! I will have to try this!

Looks delish, I want some now

You are the nai of your tom yum gai!!!

"it's not fine but you can do it" - every cilantro substitution ever

Sounds like a fantastic recipe!

Big love from Thailand 🇹🇭

this was absolutely delicious

I love this stuff. And he is right, restaurants leave the inedibles in the soup. The first time I had it, I was wondering why I couldn't eat half the stuff in the soup.

I ate this in Thailand and couldn't find a decent recipe! Thanks for this video I'm going to try this asap!
