Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb tom kha
  • a pinch fish sauce
  • 4 oz lime
  • 1/4 cup garlic
  • 2 tbsp Thai chiles
  • 1 cup palm sugar
  • 3 cloves fresh cilantro
  • to taste flaky salt
Method

Step by step

  1. Start low: onions and garlic in butter until they turn soft and sweet.
  2. Layer in the main ingredients and let them get to know the pot.
  3. Cover with stock and simmer gently -- a hard boil muddies a good soup.
  4. Taste, correct the salt, and brighten with a little acid before ladling out.
Keep cooking
