MENU Tom Kha Gai

Use the packet I vought in Ranch 99, San Francisco
Add:

  • Use 1.5 cups each: chicken broth and coconut milk
  • Boil in broth first: FRESH! Lemongrass, cut 1-inch long so that you don't accidently eat it, big enough to spot and take out easily
  • Then add coconut milk and bring to a boil
  • Whole canned mushrooms but in halves for bite-size
  • Diced yellow onions
  • Sliced carrots
  • Several slivers of chili dulce

Add cilantro right before serving

MEAL: ThaiRica ...4-ANT DIfficulty-level

  • Chicken Satay w/ Peanut Sauce
  • Tom Kha Gai Soup
  • Rice noodles in shrimp seasoning and fish sauce, add cabbage & red onion in the last few minutes of cooking, then topped with cilantro.
  • Iced green-tea

This is a 4-ANT Difficulty-level because there's prep ahead of time, an a lot of chopping, stirring to make sure it doesn't get burned.
