I used this particular Tom Ka Gai Recipe at least 80 times in the last 5 years and everyone who ever ate my Tom Ka Gai got hooked. My husband requested me to cook this one every time he wants to show me off as a good chef. lol Thank you for the best recipe, ever!!!

What makes this for me is that you are speaking your native language RIGHT AFTER the english. It's beautiful. I love it. WONDERFUL recipe.

I love how you speak both languages instead of having captions. So soothing. Only thing is I wish you would list the ingredients in the description box or on the screen so I can snap shot it.

Tom Kha Gai is one of the world's greatest comfort-food recipes. A true classic, and a gift from Thailand to the world. NOBODY doesn't like Tom Kha Gai!

Made this for my friends and now they're hooked. I have to make it every time we meet.

The best Tom Kha Gai I've ever had was at a school I worked at in Pathumtani. Highly recommend adding tomatoes, which give the broth a boosted flavor profile. The tanginess of the lime and the creaminess of the coconut milk definitely compliment an added tomato flavor. Also, it is more common in western countries to use chicken breast in soups but in Thailand, chicken thighs are typically cheaper and dark meat adds a little more flavor.

So I've been making Tom Kha Gai WRONG for the last 10 years... This is a fantastic recipe.. Tastes like Thailand! Thank you Rin!

Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. I went to my local Asian store and found the galanga and everything that I needed, including the Kiffir leaves. They are hard to find, so I purchased two packets and will keep them in my freezer. I don't eat meat, so I used a vegetable base for the stock, and tiger shrimp and fresh Chilean sea bass in place of the chicken. I put the fish in towards the end of the cooking time so that the fish wouldn't disintegrate and the shrimp at the end of cooking time so they wouldn't turn to rubber. I also use palm sugar instead of white or brown sugar. It was awesome!

Holy mackerel. Just made it. That was fantastic. Can't believe it came out of our kitchen. Thanks for posting.

I made it last night and I was AMAZED that *I* made something sooo good. Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe. I’ve wanted to make Tom Kha for years, and after a big expensive grocery trip and a failed soup, I gave up a long time ago. I thought I’d have to beg a restaurant to let me stand in the corner of a kitchen, lol. Thank you thank you!

Thanks❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’ve been trying to find this “Thai soup “ I had as a child that I couldn’t get enough of. This is the best curry on the planet. And you have helped me perfectly recreate it. Thank you so much. I was able to make it on my mothers birthdays (my adopted mother who passed years and years ago). It was a very emotional meal but know that you have a place in my heart thank you. I’m so so thankful. ❤️ I didn’t think I’d be able to ever again taste this incredible FLAVOR. My goodness. I was going to just follow a written recipe that i found; however, after hearing your native speech, I KNEW you were the better choice. I didn’t measure anything, NOTHING. WHICH IS CRAZY FOR ME. Just used my understanding and heart. And it was phenomenal. I LOVE YOU HUMAN. ❤️❤️ And thank you so very very very very much. Seriously.

This was fantastic! 25 minutes from start to finish and I had tom kha that tasted just like my favorite Thai restaurant in California. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using many of your other videos!

I really love how you spoke in both English and Thai! I'm learning the Thai language (as well as the food recipes) and I can't wait to see all of your other videos! ขอบคุฌค่ะ

Thank You! For great explanation in your beautiful Tai language and English... I'm an Irish girl that makes this broth for years.. I make variations of it. I've used lemon grass.. They also sell it in the refrigerator isle in grocery stores next to basil, cilantro in tubes near the lettuce my friends.. If ya don't have all the ingredients.. Its okay. Keep trying. Coconut milk in a can is definitely needed.

You’re amazing thank you I love how you included both languages without leaving anyone lingering waiting for it to change back to their language. You did a beautiful video thank you

Love the way to cook you explain nice and clear Thai and English loved...I watch you show how to make beef ball thanks

still my go-to tom kha recipe!! way better than most restaurants especially since I can tailor the sweet/sour balance to me! I've probably made it at least 20 times and its been so delicious every time!! This is my favorite thai dish and it often disappoints at restaurants so it was amazing to find this recipe!! Highly recommend and I'm so picky with recipes

I worked at as a dishwasher when I was 18 at a Thai Restaurant and the one dish I cannot forget is the Tom Kha Khai the owner use to make. I been trying to duplicate it through the years ... I will try this recipe and use dairy milk..as that was what he used way back then. thanks for the video :)

I tried it and damn it was good! But I used 4 tablespoons of fish sauce and brown sugar and I put the lime juice in before serving. I think this is better for the taste. Thanks

just made this!! It was absolutely fabulous. it was better than the Thai restaurant I usually go to!

I've made this 3 times in one week. So easy and insanely good. Thanks for sharing :)

This recipe is amazing , precise in taste and super delicious. It took me all the back to Singapore where I’ve had it first time in Thai restaurant. I have made it twice in four days and in the second time I replaced sugar with a tea spoon of white honey, the taste was awesome. Thank you so much for transferring the authenticity of such soup to the world.

It sounds like I'm in Thailand, so good to hear Thai language.

OMG! I never comment but made this today and it just tastes like in my favourite asian restaurant! 😭 thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏🏼❤

My absolute favourite dish in the world is Tom Kha. So tasty and refreshing. This is a great recipe. Well done.

Two languages; fantastic. Thanks for the recipe.

I've Had Tom Kha Gai soup in many restaurants in Thailand , I've even had cooking lessons in Bangkok Your receipe is simply the best ever :) last time I added Cilantro roots also .... it gets even tastier many thanks for sharing this

Thai Tom Kha Gai. Recommend >>> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FcT7tXuescs.html

Since 10+ years belongs Tom Kha Gai to my regular recipes, mainly in the winter I cook it every 2nd week. I never get tired of this explosion of flavours.

This was fantastic. Who knew it was so easy to make Tom Kha Gai soup. Thanks so much for the recipe!

This recipe is far better than any others I've been watching in my search for the tastiest version I can finally make at home. Thanks! After a few solo attempts following this recipe I will definitely venture off the path and begin experimenting with variations of proteins to expand the possibilities!

This is honestly better than Tom Kah you get at restaurants! Thank you so much for posting! I will without a doubt make this again!

you know this food is fire if they have the og language on this. i just found out about this soup in my late 20's and i'm obsessed. thanks for the upload

Very tastey! I also am impressed with your English, I hear no accent, and you switch between English and Thai effortlessly.

I eat Tom Kha Gai literally 3 days a week. Here in Oregon it has been raining and cold all winter. This is the best cure for cold bones.

ชอบวีดีโอของคุณรินมากๆค่ะ ทำให้อยู่อเมริกาแบบไม่คิดถึงอาหารไทยเลยค่ะ ขอบคุณมากๆจริงๆค่ะ คุณรินอธิบายได้ดีมากๆค่ะ

I made this tonight and wowsers. However I added cilantro to the bowl instead of the pot to avoid the spinachy flavor and texture. Added lime last as you did. Saved some green onion for last too, and some chili oil I made from some thai chilis. I'm really glad I followed your recipe because this is better than the local thai place imho. I didn't have kaffir leaves, the korean market only had one package and it was spoiled. They gave them to me for free, but I didn't use them. I added a little lime zest to try to make up for it. I also added a half cup of water twice throughout. So one cup.

Seit so vielen Jahren koche ich dieses Rezept nach! Es ist einfach so klasse und auf den Punkt ohne viel Gerede. und ich liebe es wie du es in beiden Sprachen vorführst!! Manchmal schaue ich es mir einfach zum Spass an 😂 👍👍

Thank you very much for this recipe. We tried to replicate this recipe before and didn't work. Went to a nice Thai restaurant and it is the same soup. Thank you!

You are my go to for all things thai. My kids no longer want to go to thai restaurants. Woo Hoooo. MY SOUP TASTES AUTHENTIC...

I just tried this today from a restaurant and I just HAVE to make it now! So amazing and delicious

I love her accent. I will try this soup with shrimp.

*OH MY GOD!!* I just made this; it was so *GOOD!* THANK YOU SO MUCH! I would like to make a suggestion, as you add ingredients could you name the ingredient and the quantity thereof.

ชอบเวลาที่คุณรินสอนทำกับข้าวค่ะ เข้าใจง่ายดี จะติดตามผลงานคุณรินตลอดไปนะค่ะ

I had this soup 2 weeks ago in a thai restaurant in Holland. And omg! I am addicted! The restaurant is called Baiyok. In a place called Zwolle the Netherlands. Its the best!

So this recipes are real Thai local food? As real as the way you grand mother cooks her food?? I am Mexican and the "Mexican" food they sell here in USA has nothing to do with our real food. Thank you for sharing. Everything looks so good!

Wow my mouth is watering…….my fav soup of all time

I remember the first time I had this soup i immediately fell in love can’t go to a Thai place without ordering this now and ima attempt to make it at home for the first time !

Your vedio is amazing and like how you speak in thai language it's remind me Thailand and there amazing food and hospitality bdw will you please share your chili oil recipe which u used in this video 😊

HEAVENLY! my favorite soup in the world.

Love this recipe. Thank you !! I followed it few times and I am getting good at it. I substituted chicken with veggies like sliced (blanched) carrots, cabbage, tofu, mushrooms etc. We added some salt to taste instead of fish sauce.

Thank you for sharing recipe. This is great.

My absolute favorite soup

Thank You! I couldn't figure out American name for BiMaGoot. My mom would just give to me from her garden but now I live over 3k miles from her. I had so much trouble trying to find it in the local market near me. Now I can make my Tom Yum!!! MMMM...so happy!

I really enjoy your video, easy and healthy meal, Gracias por compartir su receta, me gusto mucho,

OMG IT LOOKS SO!!!!!! GOOD, THATS MY FAVORITE COLD REMEDY SOUP, THANK YOU FOR SHARING. :) CAN YOU ALSO TEACH US VIEWERS HOW TO MAKE PAD SEE EW.

man it's raining right now and cold. u meet the spot with this soup..mmmmmmmmm

My fave combo of flavors. I ordered the powder Kaffir leaves to see if I can get close to flavor obviously not as good as real thing. I use ginger I instead of galangal and lemongrass is so divine but hard to find fresh in my small town. I ordered some from California but they were dry so I think I will try to make a broth with them and toss it before making dish

I made this today but I skipped the chili oil thing and the fish sauce because I do not like how it smells. I also used shrimp instead of chicken. Still, it turned out perfect! Exactly like the one I order from restaurants!! Thanks a lot

Thank you so much. My wife will love it. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing! I made this for my family tonight and they were so happy with how it turned out. It was delicious! Please share more!

I cooked it today using this video! It was delicious! And very easy to cook

Hello from Czech republic :) Thank you very much! I really like your videos!

I must say that, I made it for lunch with some shrimp instead of chicken, and this came out wonderful!!!! I gave it to my husband and my 7 yr old daughter and they refuse to buy this at the restaurant anymore since mine came out "awesome". Thank you for this recipe!!! Next time I would like to do chicken and shrimp together, can that be done?
