I am forever indebted to my Thai friend for introducing me to this Tom Ka Gai. We cooked this in the uni hostel room with only a pack of Tom Ka paste and ingredients by using a rice cooker. It bring back lots of good memories whenever I cook this soup. Now this tasty Thai soup is our house's all time favorite soup. Even my kids also love it with its minor spicy taste. All my friend who try it will surely like to have the recipe. I love to put more vegetables to this soup. Taste very good with all kind of vegetables.
