Tom Kha Gai (Chicken in Galangal Soup)


"Tom kha gai is a hot sweet soup made with coconut milk, chicken and lemongrass. The name literally translates to boiled galangal chicken. The fried chillies add a smoky flavor as well as texture, color and heat, but not so much that it overwhelms the soup."

From Wikipedia
