Comment préparer

1
Trim the lemongrass, bruise the stalks with the side of a knife, slice the galangal, tear the lime leaves, slice the mushrooms and chili, and cut the chicken into bite-size strips.
2
Pour the coconut milk into a medium saucepan and add the lemongrass, galangal, and lime leaves. Heat over medium until steaming, then simmer gently for 10 minutes; do not let the coconut milk boil hard.

3
Add the chicken and mushrooms to the infused broth. Return to a gentle simmer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the chicken is opaque throughout and reaches 74°C in the thickest piece.
4
Stir in the fish sauce, palm sugar, and sliced chili. Simmer for 2 minutes, until the sugar dissolves and the mushrooms are tender but still substantial.
5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust with a little more fish sauce for salt or lime juice for acidity; the broth should be creamy, savory, sour, and lightly sweet.
6
Ladle the soup into warmed bowls, scatter with cilantro leaves, and serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice and lime wedges.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

Coconut milk softens the sharp perfume of lemongrass, galangal, and lime leaves, while fish sauce and lime create the salty-sour contrast that defines tom kha. Adding the chicken after the aromatics infuse the broth keeps it juicy.
