About Tom ka kae
Tom Ka Kae is a savory coconut milk soup originating from Thai cuisine. This traditional dish typically combines hearty eggplant, tender pumpkin, and fragrant Thai herbs such as galangal, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves. Its creamy base comes from rich coconut milk, which adds a luxurious texture and mild sweetness to the soup. High in healthy fats, coconut milk also provides essential nutrients such as manganese and iron, though its caloric content should be enjoyed in moderation. Vegetables like eggplant and pumpkin supply dietary fiber and vitamins, making the dish a nourishing option. However, some recipes may include added sugars or higher sodium levels from fish sauce or broth, which are factors to consider for balanced consumption. Tom Ka Kae is both a nutrient-packed comfort dish and a delightful representation of Thailand’s rich culinary heritage.
