Tom Kha Coconut Soup With Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Cook as much Jasmine rice as needed.
• Pour the chicken broth into a large pot over medium heat.
• Shake the coconut milk thoroughly and add to the pot.
• Add sliced mushrooms. (You can add chili oil now or anytime following. The longer it is mixing, the stronger the flavor).
• Cut lemon grass into ~1 inch long pieces. Set aside. Thinly slice ginger. Set aside.
• Cut a 10in x 10in square of cheesecloth. Place the lemon grass & ginger into the cheesecloth and tie closed. Drop the sachet into the pot.
• Let simmer for ~15 minutes (usually the time I use to peel the shrimp and cut them in half).
• Add Chili oil if you haven't already.
• Add fish sauce, if desired.
• Add shrimp. Cook ~3 minutes more (until shrimp are pink).
• Take off the heat, remove the lemon grass/ginger sachet, and add lime juice.
• Serve with desired amount of Jasmine rice.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir the ginger, lemongrass, and curry paste in the heated oil for 1 minute. Slowly pour the chicken broth over the mixture, stirring continually. Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar; simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and mushrooms; cook and stir until the mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp; cook until no longer translucent about 5 minutes. Stir in the lime juice; season with salt; garnish with cilantro.
