Thai Coconut Chicken Soup - Tom Kha Gai Fusion

When traveling in Thailand, Tom Kha was always one of my favourite soups. Tom Kha Gai is a famous Thai coconut chicken soup that brings together rich coconut milk, aromatic herbs, and spices, creating a perfect balance of creamy, tangy, and savoury flavours. Originating in Thailand, this dish is made with ingredients like lemongrass, ginger, and kaffir lime leaves, giving it a fresh and exotic taste that’s hard to resist. In Thailand this soup used to make me break out in a sweat due to it's hot spicy chile levels. This version although still spicy is quite mild. With tender chicken and mushrooms in a broth that’s both soothing and flavourful, it’s comfort food at its finest. Plus, the coconut milk provides healthy fats, making it a nourishing option for any meal. This is my version, it's not quite authentic but I believe it's more adapted to the Western palate.

The Chef’s Knife is a versatile, all-purpose tool crafted for a range of kitchen tasks, from slicing tender chicken to cutting through firm beef with precision. Its moderate blade length and light weight make it comfortable for everyday use, whether you're chopping herbs or tackling tougher cuts of meat. The knife’s lightness is easy on the wrist, which is ideal for longer prep sessions.

"I've been using this artisanal Japanese steel knife for a few weeks now, and here’s my take. It’s beautifully crafted, making it a great gift option. The knife feels quite light, which many home cooks might appreciate, though I personally think a slightly heavier handle would improve balance. The steel isn’t as strong as my German knives, but it sharpens up quickly and easily, and I find myself reaching for it often. It is a bit pricey, but that’s expected with Japanese steel.If you're interested, I have an affiliate link—I'll earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
