LoboThai Envelope Spicy Coconut Chicken Soup, Tom Ka, 1.76 Ounce (Pack of 5)

I have purchased this Tom Kha paste several times. I typically buy it by the three pack so I always have it on hand. The instructions are easy to follow. I recommend putting the packet in warm or hot water before opening. This makes it much easier to squeeze out of the packet. It's full of flavor! I add small canned mushroom pieces, fresh cilantro, and fresh red pepper. This is by far way better than any you can find in a can.

recommended by a Thai friend. It so good to cook it with coconut cream chicken mushroom carrot lemon grass soup.

I only have this every once in a while, because I'm sensitive to MSG and will wake up with a puffy face and swollen ankles. But I really like the flavor. Getting it out of the bag is tricky, putting it in hot water as instructed doesn't really work. I put it on a cutting board and use a scraper to get it out.

For some reason, tom ka kai concentrate is getting hard to find. This paste is very deeply flavored, very fresh, and delicious. It's a bit hotter than my tastes run, but totally acceptable. Just add carrots to your soup and the hotness dissipates.

When you want an authentic Tom Kha Gai, just provide the meat and a few complimentary ingredients and you’ll have a delicious soup in about 30 minutes. I highly recommend this soup starter. Just follow the recipe instructions on the package. - Don’t forget to add Jasmine rice!

I had been craving Thom Kha for months and was actually disappointed the last time I ordered from local restaurant after spending 15 bucks, this came right on time and was super easy to use. I used a small chicken breast and added grated carrot, baby bok choi, mushrooms, mushroom seasoning, a little onion and some brown rice noodle I ate it all before I could get a pic!!

The flavor of this mix is spot on. I was very happy with it. It's not the same as in-person at a great Thai place, but it's very good for making something at home. It really only makes the broth - there are maybe one or two mushrooms in the mix. So, plan on adding everything including the coconut milk. But it's the complex flavor profile I was looking for - that's difficult to create at home without lots of work and gathering of supplies. My town doesn't have an Asian market, so it's not easy to do at home without fresh lemon grass, etc.
