Tom Kha Gai

Soooo tonights dinner was a thai chicken soup with coconut milk, lots of veg and a spicy broth. Sooooo goooood, trust me, you will end up licking your soup bowl, or the pot, but thats a bit weird so make sure you are the only one left in the kitchen when doing so. Or just bring the pot to your room, and lick as much as you want. I am just saying, not that I know what I am talking about.......

Anyway, this is very simple to make. Remember that Tom Yam soup paste our flat mate Jerry brought to us from Hong Kong? Well, you are gonna use it again, but this time with coconut milk :D This reminds me of when I was backpacking in Thailand; hair gets lighter, skin gets darker, water gets warmer, drinks get colder, music gets louder, nights get longer, life gets better..... Yeye I didn't write this poem if you were all wondering, but it just describes the good summer feeling you get when you have a bowl of Tom Kha Gai. Okey lol this was so weird, I am getting all nostalgic....

Ingredients:

Tom Yam paste

Coconut milk

Chicken (that was already cooked and prepared)

Baby corn

Green beans

Mushrooms

Pepper

Rice

Prise per person (3 bowls each!!!): £1.50 ish 

Boil water in the kettle, mix the boiled water with the tom yam paste in a pot (obviously). lol. Mix in the coconut milk, mix mix mix. Mix in the vegetables, that you have already sliced in cubes or stars or hearts or triangles. Stir until the veg is soft, and then throw the chicken in the bowl. We like to throw stuff. While the veg is being cooked, you can start boiling the rice.

When the rice is done, and the soup is done, you can eat (logically enough). You can put some curry powder in the soup if u want to give it some more flavour. Eat eat eat. Yum yum yum. Enjoy!!!!!
