Gang Kai: Thai Red Curry Soup image

A soup-like dish to be served with or over Thai sticky rice. Made with coconut milk. You can substitute any kind of meat or fish. I like it with beef (gang nuur), shrimp (gang kung) and fish (gang pla). Any firm-fleshed fish works nicely. I especially like monk fish with this dish.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning. I added some extra red curry paste and fish sauce to taste and it was much better.

This soup is a keeper! It's so easy to make and the flavors are incredible. I love the combination of sweet, sour, and spicy. I served it with jasmine rice and it was the perfect meal.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. I would recommend using less red curry paste if you don't like spicy food.

This soup is a burst of flavor! The creamy coconut milk and fragrant lemongrass are a perfect pair, and the red curry paste adds just the right amount of heat. I served it with jasmine rice and it was a hit with my family.
