a red curry, coconut milk, chicken "soup"



for the "soup" i made lastnite... it was my first time. i decided to make something random without any help of a recipe. basically i just brought a can of lite coconut milk to a boil, added organic chicken that i cut up into cubes, let that simmer for a bit and then added probably about 2 tablespoons(i eyeball everything) of red curry powder to it along with some cumin and salt. then i threw in some grated ginger, garlic, bok choy, peppers, and onions. i kept all that going for maybe 10-15 mins and then at the end i added cilantro and juice from half a lemon. i literally had no rice to put this "curry" on top of so i figured we'd eat it like a soup(tom kha gai is my favorite) .... it worked out pretty well. it was spicy from the curry powder. but yknow, if you like thai tom kha gai soup, make that! my brother who is a chef made this not too long ago and it was amazing. there are great recipes all over the internet. 

super. duper. easy. peasy. lemon. squeezy.
