About Tom kha
Tom Kha is a traditional Thai soup known for its creamy, tangy, and aromatic flavors. Made with a base of coconut milk and chicken or vegetable broth, it typically includes ingredients like galangal (a fragrant root similar to ginger), lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, mushrooms, and chili peppers. Protein options often include chicken or shrimp, though vegetarian versions are also common. The soup is gently spiced and balanced with lime juice, fish sauce, and sometimes palm sugar. From a nutritional perspective, Tom Kha is rich in healthy fats from coconut milk, which provides medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that may support energy and metabolism. It’s also a good source of vitamins and minerals from the herbs, spices, and vegetables. However, due to its coconut milk base, it can be high in saturated fat, and sodium levels can vary depending on the added fish sauce or broth. Moderation and mindful preparation make this dish a flavorful and nourishing choice.
