Tom kha gai my beloved

In 2015 I bought this big tub of tom kha paste on a whim, because I wanted to try new stuff and get more used to eating stuff with coconut milk in it for diet reasons. It's honestly the least hasslefree food I can make, even beyond just basic beef soup, and I recently learned that tom kha can be made as... basically a sauce? Served with rice? And I love serving things with rice.
It is just the best kind of Right Kind Of Spicy. Galagal and coriander and lemongrass is just a really good combination. Any food that doesn't make me want to add ginger has already succeeded in winning over my heart.
