Tom Kha Paste 400 g – Authentic Thai Coconut Soup Base for New Zealand Kitchens
Description
Indulge in the rich, aromatic flavours of Thailand with Tom Kha Paste 400 g, your essential shortcut to preparing one of Thailand’s most iconic dishes — Tom Kha Gai, the creamy coconut and galangal soup loved across the world. Designed for convenience and authenticity, this larger 400 g pack ensures you always have enough to bring restaurant-quality Thai flavours to your home or professional kitchen in New Zealand.
Tom Kha — often translated as “Thai Coconut Soup” — is a harmonious blend of lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and a gentle touch of chilli, simmered in creamy coconut milk. The result is a beautifully balanced soup that’s equal parts spicy, tangy, aromatic, and comforting. With Tom Kha Paste 400 g, you can recreate this masterpiece quickly and easily, without the need for complex spice preparation or hard-to-find herbs.
This authentic Thai paste is crafted using traditional techniques and high-quality ingredients directly sourced from Thailand’s lush herb farms. The combination of galangal (the signature “kha” in Tom Kha), fragrant lemongrass, kaffir lime zest, garlic, shallots, and mild chilli gives the dish its unmistakable aroma and taste. The paste blends smoothly with coconut milk to form a silky, aromatic broth that pairs perfectly with chicken, seafood, tofu, or vegetables.
For Kiwi kitchens — where fresh, wholesome ingredients meet multicultural inspiration — Tom Kha Paste 400 g offers an effortless way to bring international flavour into everyday cooking. Whether you’re preparing a traditional soup, a creamy seafood curry, or a fusion-style noodle dish, this paste serves as your all-in-one seasoning base.
