About Tom kha sauce

Tom Kha sauce is a creamy, flavorful Thai sauce that originates from the traditional Tom Kha soup. Typically made with coconut milk, galangal (a root similar to ginger), lemongrass, lime juice, fish sauce, and chili, it offers a perfect balance of tangy, savory, and mildly spicy flavors. Sometimes infused with kaffir lime leaves and cilantro, the sauce is enriched with aromatic herbs that add depth to its taste. As a coconut milk-based sauce, Tom Kha is naturally rich in healthy fats that can support heart health when consumed in moderation. It also contains anti-inflammatory properties from galangal and lemongrass. However, it can be high in saturated fats and sodium, particularly due to the fish sauce and coconut milk, so portion control is key. Often used to drizzle over grilled meats or vegetables, this sauce is a delicious and versatile addition to Thai-inspired dishes.
