Tom Kha Gai Roasted Meat (อกไก่อบน้ำต้มข่า)
Tom Kha Gai Roasted Chicken
This is a super easy way to take advantage of the last part of your Tom Kha Gai soup. When you get to the bottom of the Tom Kha Gai a lot of the lemongrass and other herbs and spices are inedible. What I like to do is to save the last one-fourth of the soup to use as a base for roasted Meats.
The only thing we really need is some kind of a Thai Basil spray for the cookie sheet or baking pan and some vegetables of your choice and some broth to keep it moist.
Tom Kha Gai Roasted Chicken
This recipe is great to combine two of the most popular elements of Thai food which are roasted meat and coconut based soups. If you're on a tight budget like my wife and I it has the added benefit of not wasting any of the ingredients and allowing you to re-purpose work that you've already done so that you don't have to duplicate it.
