THAI CHICKEN AND COCONUT MILK SOUP

(TOM KA GAI)



1 12-ounce can coconut milk, such as chaokoh

1/4 lb chicken breast, cut into small chunks

juice and grated peel of 1 lime

1 4" piece of lemon grass, cut into very thin (1/16") slices on the diagonal

3-4 slices of galanga (fresh ginger may be substituted)

hot chile peppers to taste -- preferably thai birds, with serranos an acceptable substitute cut into thin circles

cilantro for garnish



Pour the lime juice on the chicken and let stand while you prepare the rest of the soup. In a medium saucepan, place the coconut milk, lemon grass, grated lime peel, galanga or ginger, and (optionally) chiles. (The optional part is that if you don't want the whole dish to taste spicy, add the chiles later; the earlier you add them, the hotter the resulting dish.) Bring the coconut milk to a simmer.

When the soup is simmering, add the lime-soaked chicken pieces and stir to distribute them. Reduce the heat so the soup stays just below a boil and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or till the chicken pieces are finished cooking. Remove from heat and serve immediately with fresh cilantro leaves for garnish.





THAI FISH CAKES (TOD MAN PLAA)



1kg redfish fillets (processed to a paste)

4tbsp red curry paste

1/2cup finely chopped cilantro (roots, stems %26amp; leaves)

4 kaffir lime leaves (sliced finely)

150g snake beans (sliced thinly into rounds)

1 egg (beaten)

2tbsp sugar

1tbsp salt



Combine all ingredients and mix well. Shallow fry in hot oil until a golden brown colour (about 1-2 minutes on each side).

It鈥檚 really up to you how salty or sweet you want the fish cakes to be. What I normally do is fry a couple, taste them and if more salt or sugar is needed, I just add it to the remaining mixture.



Serve with sweet chilli sauce.Thai food recipe please?
