À Propos de Ce Plat

A silky coconut milk soup where galangal is the undisputed star — not ginger, but a sharper, more piney rhizome that slices through the richness of the coconut cream. The broth is deliberately never brought to a hard boil, preserving the coconut milk's velvety silkiness while galangal, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves perfume every spoonful. The balance of creamy coconut with sharp lime juice and aromatic herbs makes this one of the most comforting dishes in Thai cuisine.
