Tom Kha Gai Nam Sai

Clear Galangal Soup with Chicken

ต้มข่าไก่น้ำใส

Central Thailand

is a clear variant of the well-known galangal soup Tom Kha Gai with chicken. It is cooked without coconut milk, so the broth stays clear and the galangal comes through more distinctly. Besides galangal, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves shape the flavour. Depending on the recipe, additional ingredients such as mushrooms, tomatoes or cabbage are added. The suffix in the name refers to the clear broth.
