About Tom ka gai soup

Tom Ka Gai, or Thai coconut chicken soup, is a flavorful and aromatic dish hailing from Thai cuisine. Known for its creamy texture and balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors, this soup typically features tender chicken, coconut milk, lemongrass, galangal, lime juice, mushrooms, and chili, accented with fresh herbs like cilantro. The coconut milk provides richness and healthy fats, while the lemongrass and lime juice add immune-boosting properties. Galangal, a root similar to ginger, contributes anti-inflammatory benefits. Packed with protein from the chicken and vitamins from the mushrooms and herbs, Tom Ka Gai can be a nourishing meal. However, its calorie content may be higher due to the coconut milk, and sodium levels can increase depending on the seasoning. Moderation and mindful preparation make this traditional Thai dish a delicious and wholesome choice.
