This heavenly, and so easy. The asian market owner suggested I add:
2 tbsp of Thai Chili Paste for medium heat and to give it that orange tint, and
2 tbsp of coconut palm sugar (substitute is brown sugar)

My first try at Asian cooking. Oh wow! Thank you for the recipe!

I love Tum Ka Ga Soup, its the best ever, i dont cook at all, but some 12 years ago i picked up a recipe book from Bangkok and tried the soup at home while my wife was traveling,, if you get the ingredient then its pretty easy. Soup is a hit with any one at all, there is a special rice that I make with the soup stolen from a Bohra Dish my mother used to make. Together the two are a tremendous meal. I can send you the recipe for the rice if you want. Zain Jeewanjee

20 pieces of canned straw mushrooms, that’s what I think the recipe calls for. :)

I had a wonderful dish that was chicken breast cooked in a heavy coconut sauce. not a soup do you know what it might have been. the place went out of business before i could go back and try to taste what was in it. It was wonderful.

In Thailand, do they make this soup With or Without chicken stock/broth? Other tom kha gai recipes I have tried always called for some stock in it. Just wondering. Looks good though! Ron
