Tom Kha with Green Curry Base

 

Ingredients: Tom yum kha paste (Aroy-D), leftover green curry sauce, king prawns (deveined), white mushrooms (sliced), broccoli florets, 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced), 1/2 red bell pepper (sliced), 2 garlic cloves, 1 red chili (sliced), 2 scallions (chopped), coconut milk, lime juice, cilantro, coconut sugar

Quick Note: Green curry sauce = creamy, sweet, herbaceous (coconut milk + green chilies + Thai basil). Tom yum kha paste = creamy, aromatic, mild (galangal + lemongrass + coconut + lime leaves). Both are coconut-based, so they blend beautifully for a rich, fragrant soup.

  4. Season: Fish sauce, coconut sugar, lime juice to taste
