Tom Kha Paste - 400 g
Tom Kha Paste is a ready-mixed spice paste that combines the most important ingredients from traditional Thai cuisine in one convenient package. The paste is composed of galangal, lemongrass, and kaffir lime zest, which together form a complex and fragrant flavor base with clear citrus notes and a mild, earthy depth. Galangal, which is the central element in this type of paste, differs from ginger by having a more citrusy and less sharp character, giving the dish its special profile. The paste is used as a base for preparing Tom Kha soup, which is characterized by a soft and creamy consistency thanks to the addition of coconut milk. To prepare the soup, bring 220 ml of water and 250 ml of coconut milk to a boil in a pot, then add 50 g of paste along with 115 g of protein of your choice and preferred vegetables. The dish is then simmered over medium heat for approximately 8 minutes, until all ingredients are cooked through, and served with fresh cilantro leaves and possibly a spoonful of palm sugar for extra richness. The taste is warm and spicy with a clear balance between savory, sour, and creamy, and compared to Tom Yum soup, Tom Kha is milder and more rounded in expression. The texture of the paste is homogeneous and thick, making it easy to dose and dissolve in hot liquids. The paste can also be used as a flavoring in various sauces and stir-fries that desire an Asian touch. The product is packed in a vacuum-sealed 400 g container that preserves the aromas and keeps the paste fresh. The contents include refined soybean oil and are therefore relevant to note for people with soy allergies. The paste is aimed at food enthusiasts who want to recreate authentic Thai restaurant food at home, as well as anyone interested in Asian soup, spice paste for stir-fries, gluten-free cooking, and quick everyday meals with an exotic taste.
