Vegan Tom Kha Kai Soup
If you want to imagine yourself in a Thai restaurant in downtown Bangkok, just close your eyes over your cooking pot and breathe in all its wonderful aromas! This plant-based dish is bursting with nutrients and has a high comfort-food factor.
The ginger powder from Biotona adds just the right amount of spiciness, whilst also improving your digestion, providing added vitality and combating energy dips.
Biotona Coconut milk balances this heat with a rich creaminess, whilst in turn improving your intestinal functioning and giving you a nice full feeling. Kin ahaan arroy kab!, as the Thai waitress would no doubt say. (It means: ‘Enjoy your food!’)
