i've had tom kha with and without the galangal. Honestly, doesn't make the hugest difference. When you add the red curry paste mixture with fish sauce and lime juice at the end of the tom kha, it give it that flavor. There could very well be galangal in the red curry paste as there is lemongrass and kaffir
Many of the pastes contain pretty much all the typical Thai herbs, roots ect. Kaffir lime leaves are the only item that is crazy expensive for me, A tiny frozen pack of a ounce or two is about $3. Ive never found fresh and growing it isnt an option for me.
On a side note if you want a interesting hot sauce. Try boiling galangal, and lemon grass in a pot. Save that water for your hot sauce. That is how i start Tom Yum when im not feeling lazy. Coriander root is a nice addition too but the flavor can come on a bit strong.

Prima Taste Singapore Curry noodles with a splash of Redboat40N, red shallots sauteed in organic coconut oil and Spice Island red curry powder, Thai chili paste, white onion, carrot matchsticks, lemon drop peppers, 10 fish balls and fried tofu. Garnished with fresh picked laksa leaves and salad burnet (tastes kinda like cucumber)
This was sooo damn good it needed a larger pic and natural lighting on a overcast day.

Nice Gonebad! You went and done good.
Thanks yeah the lime and pepper flakes really set off the sweetness of the creamy coconut milk. Me and the wife have been talking maybe next week a crawfish bisque just need to tweak the lobster recipe a bit. And get a good dipping bread.
I think Ramenrater is too skeeered to come here and face this!!!!
My brother wanted to go out for lunch but i already had this prepped and sure enough he wanted in on the action. Well i only had 1 pack of Prima Taste noodles left so i grabbed a pack of a cheaper brand i get also. I also only had about a pound of sirloin prepped but i had a cooked chicken leg quarter deboned.
First i fried the thinly sliced sirloin in organic coconut oil, both paste satchels, red shallots, garlic and Korean pepper flakes. Simmered the beef with the remaining seasoning packets, half the green/white onion and a little of the laska leaf. Added the Prima Taste noodles when it came to a boil since they take longer to cook. Added the rest of the white onion and carrot shreds then too. At 4min i added the other noodles since they only take 3min to cook and the deboned chicken (pre cooked),
At the last minute i added....and this is were it gets good.....Siam Queen Basil, Chichimeca jalapeno strips, Cajun Belle strips and the laksa leaf. Garnished with the remaining green onion. The Siam Queen basil was intense. I added around 15 hand torn leaves for 2 bowls of noodles.

Nice! I bet some bacon bits would perk that up, or wait, you pescetarian? I forget. Pecorino then lol.
I pulled a chuck roast last night to thaw for supper tonight, a few minutes ago I opened it to marinate and had an idea for lunch.
My first thought was that Pho broth I made so off I went looking for ingredients in the house and it worked out great. I found fresh rice noodles, broccoli, baby carrots, onions and cilantro. Topped it with Sriracha and Hoisin sauce. I sauteed the veggies first before adding them to the bowl along with thin slices of raw beef and onions. Now I'm stuffed and it came out awesome considering it took about 15 minutes to put together. I'm glad I made all that broth, time consuming but so worth it.
