Fun Fact
- The vibrant colors in Thai coconut broth come from fresh ingredients like red chillies, green cilantro, and orange carrots. It's like a rainbow in a bowl - each color adding it's own nutritional benefits and visual appeal.
- Often mistaken for ginger, 'galangal' is a key ingredient in Thai coconut broth. It adds a unique, slightly citrusy flavor. Think of galangal as ginger's exotic cousin who brings a zesty twist to family gatherings.
Historical Fact
- Thai coconut broth gained popularity in the royal kitchens of Siam (now Thailand) during the Ayutthaya period (1351 - 1767). The royal chefs, known for their culinary mastery, experimented with coconut milk and spices, creating luxurious dishes for the king and his court.
- During the 16th century, Portuguese and Dutch traders arrived in Thailand, bringing with them new ingredients like chillies. The Thais, ever resourceful, incorporated these fiery peppers into their coconut broths, adding a new dimension of heat and flavour.
Nutrition Fact
- Coconut milk, the star ingredient of this dish, is rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are fast and can be quickly used by the body for energy.
- Ingredients like turmeric and ginger are packed with antioxidants, which help combat free radicals and reduce inflammation.
