Create the creamy, aromatic perfection of "Tom Kha Gai" (Thai Chicken Coconut Soup) in minutes with Lobo Tom Kha Paste. This paste captures the authentic flavors needed for this beloved Thai dish.

The Importance of Galangal Root in Tom Kha Soup

Lobo Tom Kha Paste solves this problem by capturing the essential flavor in a convenient packet. This offers home chefs an easy way to enjoy a classic Thai dish without hunting for rare ingredients. Every sachet contains the right blend of galangal, lemongrass, and lime juice to create the perfect balance.
